Classic Steak Marinade

Ingredients

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup olive oil (or avocado oil)
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons fresh oregano (finely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme (finely chopped)
1/4 teaspoon onion powder (or granulated onion)
1 to 2 cloves garlic (minced)

Directions

Gather the ingredients.

Place red-wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl and whisk together.

Slowly drizzle in olive oil or avocado oil, whisking constantly, until well combined.

Add sea salt, oregano, pepper, thyme, onion powder, and minced garlic, and stir until well combined. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 5 minutes or so before using.

Place steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the top, massaging it into the meat and making sure all surfaces are coated well.

Seal the bag, put it on a rimmed pan to catch any escaping juices or in a shallow bowl and place in the refrigerator for about 2 1/2 hours. Marinating time for beef depends on the cut and thickness. Consult this marinating beef chart to get the right time for your steak.

Once the meat is marinated, it’s time to grill according to your preferred method.

This marinade can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
