How to Marinate Steak
Whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl. Place the steak in a large freezer bag or bowl, then pour the marinade on top and seal the bag/bowl. Let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but around 4 hours is ideal. The longer the steaks marinate, the more flavor they will have!

How Long to Marinate Steak
Marinating steak for 1 to 2 hours is a great start. You can marinate overnight at the longest but don’t go over 24 hours. Marinating steak helps break down and tenderize the meat prior to cooking.
Best Cuts of Steak to Marinate
Most types of beef can be marinated before cooking or grilling. We love to grill flank steak, filet mignon, skirt steak, sirloin, or ribeye. These all give a great flavor as well as tender meat.

Grilling a Perfect Steak
Grilling steaks is a simple process that creates a crisp layer on the outside with a tender and juicy inside. Cook your steak to perfection following these simple step-by-step instructions.
- Prepare grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, I like to turn off the heat and quickly clean grates with hot water or half an onion. Then once dry you can oil the grates then turn the flame back on.
- Cook the steak. Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side. If you prefer your steak medium to well done, you will likely need to cook it a few more minutes.
- Insert meat thermometer. Beef’s tender, juicy texture is optimum when cooked to medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness. To determine doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer horizontally into the side of the steaks. Place the thermometer in the thickest part. The thermometer should not touch bone, fat, or the grill.
- Let rest. Once it’s reached the desired temperature, remove it from the grill and tent with foil for 5 minutes. I like to add some garlic herb butter while it rests for additional flavor.
