Notes

  • We are using Ribeyes as an example but you can use this marinade on any cut of steak.
  • Gluten-Free: For a gluten-free alternative, you can use tamari or coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce and gluten-free Worcestershire sauce in place of regular.
  • Try red wine vinegar in place of the balsamic!
  • For extra richness, top each steak with a tablespoon of butter.
  • Steak Internal Temperature Guide:
    • For rare steak: 125-130°F
