I named this recipe the “Cowboy Rich Marinade,” being that this steak marinade recipe has rich ingredients like aged Italian balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and rosemary just to name a few. The depth of flavors in the marinade complements the beef flavor of the steak.
The list of ingredients you will need for this Recipe:
- A couple of sirloin steaks
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
- 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon himalayan salt (optional)
Get out a small bowl, small wish, measuring cups and spoons, garlic press, a deep glass dish to fit steaks, and the rest of the ingredients you will need to get started.
Directions:
Take your steaks with a paper towel and pat them dry in the glass dish, set aside. Now, using the small bowl, add the balsamic vinegar, light soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, and rosemary by peeling leaves back off the stem into the bowl. Whisk till just mixed.
Grab 2 – 3 garlic cloves and with the garlic press add minced garlic in a bowl with a few red pepper flakes for kicking the sweet. Whisk all ingredients again till flavors combined well. You can taste the marinade to see if it needs additional salt. Himalayan seems to be a nice light touch. Poor over steak and marinade for 4 to 6 hours.
Take the steaks out of the fridge to let them warm up to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Now grab a large cast iron skillet to seal all this good flavor in.
Preheat the cast iron skillet on medium heat….
Add a table of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter to the pan. Take steak out of the marinade, letting excess drip off. I decided to cut these big steaks into four, but it’s up to you. You add steaks to pan and cook watching they don’t burn. Turn steaks when you see a dark crust sear. Cook the other side till your steak is done to your liking. I just served noodles and broccoli with the steaks. Any sides would work. You could even chunk steaks in cubes and serve over rice with vegetables for a healthy dinner. I hope you enjoy this recipe. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment
