How to marinate a steak?
It is easy to marinate a steak and will make your at home grilled steaks taste just like a restaurant steak! The easy way to marinate a steak is to throw all your ingredients into a zip top baggie and then add your steaks and shake that bag up! Lay flat to evenly distribute ingredients and then place in the fridge. Every hour or so, turn the bag over if you can! If you can’t, no big deal! Half an hour before cooking, remove the bag from the fridge. You always want to cook room temperature steak in order to get the tastiest and juiciest steak!
If you don’t want to use a plastic bag, you can use one of these marinade trays!
These trays make things mess free and easy!
How long do you marinate steak?
The marinate time really depends on the cut of meat. To really simplify it, the cheaper the meat, the longer I marinate.
So a cheap sirloin tip steak gets 6-8 hours, or even overnight, while a NY strip steak only needs about 2 hours.
This is also a great money saving tip! Buy a cheaper cut of steak and let it marinate over night. The marinade will add tenderness and flavor and no one will never know that you didn’t spring for the super expensive cuts of meat!
Hey, not every occasion calls for filet, right?
