Marinade Ingredients
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper, to taste
Main Ingredient
- 1.5 pounds steak
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a measuring cup or bowl, combine fresh parsley, thyme leaves, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are uniformly mixed.
- Marinate the Steak: Place the steaks into a large ziplock bag. Pour the prepared marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Remove as much air as possible from the bag, seal it, then gently shake and massage the bag to distribute the marinade evenly, making sure the marinade reaches all surfaces of the steak. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for best flavor penetration. For freezer storage, see notes.
- Cook as Desired: Remove the steaks from the marinade and cook them by your preferred method—whether pan-searing in a skillet, grilling directly on the grill, baking in the oven, or cooking in a foil packet. This marinade complements all methods, ensuring a flavorful and tender steak.
Notes
- Marinate the steak in the freezer by sealing the bag tightly and storing it for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.
- Use different cooking methods based on preference—grilling adds smoky flavor, skillet allows for a good crust, and oven baking offers convenience.
- Adjust salt and pepper levels to personal taste, especially if using a salted soy sauce.
- For best results, allow steaks to rest for 5 minutes after cooking before serving.
