Ingredients
  

For the Marinade:
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar adds a sweet and tangy base
  • 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce provides depth and complexity
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce enhances umami flavor
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard adds a hint of spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper for a touch of heat
  • 2 to 4 pieces rib-eye steaks the star of the show!
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil to help with cooking

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Grill or skillet
  • Tongs
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Marinade. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Marinate the Steaks. Place the rib-eye steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat Your Grill or Skillet. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil or vegetable oil.
  4. Step 4: Cook the Steaks. Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  5. Step 5: Rest and Serve. Allow the steaks to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness of the dish.
  • Fresh garlic yields a stronger flavor compared to pre-minced varieties.
  • Let the steaks rest after cooking for maximum tenderness.
