Steak Marinade For Grilling

Being able to find a good marinade at the store has proven to be difficult because you never really know the ingredients that are added in. This is why this homemade steak marinade is really, really good. Not only is it made with easy and simple ingredients but it’s also a great flavor and taste.

It pairs perfectly with steak and other cuts of beef and it’s been my go-to marinade recipe for years.

How long do you marinate meat?

This all depends on the thickness of the meat. If a cut of beef is really thick, you’re going to want to give it more time to penetrate throughout. For thinner cuts of meat, minimal time is fine.

You can easily marinate beef for a few hours or even overnight as well.

Can you over marinate beef?

You bet. You have to be careful with the balance. A good rule of thumb is to start with a couple of hours and cook and see what you think. You’ll find that a taste test will help you be the judge of if it’s perfect or if you need to marinate it longer next time.

Tips for Marinating Steak

Marinade time will vary depending on the thickness and quality of the steak.

It’s also important to note that marinating your steak is not going to make it more tender. This is a misconception that many people have. Marinating only adds flavor.

How do you store leftover steak marinade

I typically use all my marinade when I’m cooking the steak but if you find that you have some leftover, you can add it to a jar with a lid and store it in the fridge.

This will keep it fresh and ready for you to use on another cut of beef.

Can you use steak marinade or other types of meat?

The ingredients used in this marinade pair best with the flavor and texture of beef. You’ll find that there are other great options for chicken and pork, and I don’t vary or mix those marinades.
