Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients to prepare the marinade.
- Marinate the steak or roast overnight in the refrigerator.
- Grill the marinated meat until desired doneness.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the marinade. If you don't have wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar is a great substitute. Ensure the steak is at room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Use Mike'S Barbecue Sauce as a finishing glaze for a sweet and tangy kick.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the grilled steak with a side of Confetti Corn Salad for a refreshing contrast. Consider pairing it with roasted vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes. A glass of red wine also complements the rich flavors beautifully. For a lighter option, serve with a mixed green salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the steak in a preheated oven at 250°F (120°C) until warmed through, which prevents it from drying out. Slicing the steak before reheating can help it warm up more evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts like flank steak, sirloin, or even chicken. Just adjust the marinating time; thinner cuts may require less time in the marinade, about 2-4 hours, while thicker cuts can still benefit from an overnight soak.
How can I tell when the steak is done grilling?
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done. Alternatively, use the finger test for doneness, but a thermometer is more reliable.
Is it necessary to marinate the steak overnight?
While marinating overnight enhances flavor and tenderness, you can marinate for at least 2-4 hours if you're short on time. Just keep in mind that the longer it marinates, the more intense the flavor will be.
