- Marinate Steak:
- Place your steak (ribeye, sirloin, or your preferred cut) in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour Marinade:
- Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

- Slice the steak against the grain and serve.
This marinade works well for various cuts of steak and adds a rich, savory flavor. Adjust the marinating time based on the thickness of your steak and your personal preference. Enjoy your delicious and marinated steak!
