Ingredients
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup lemon juice (or juice from about 1.5 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a mini blender or food processor and blend until well combined.
- Use desired amount of sauce to marinate steak. For best results, marinate meat for at least 30 minutes. Cook meat using desired method.
- Drizzle some additional sauce (that hasn't been exposed to the raw meat) over the meat once it's been cooked (optional, but highly recommended).
Notes
- The marinade makes around 2 cups, which is enough to marinate about 2-3 lbs worth of steak (or other meat). Make up the whole batch and use the marinade over the course of a couple weeks for quick and flavourful meals!
- Although this marinade works great for steak, you can also use it for other meat or poultry as well such as chicken breasts or thighs.
- This marinade also doubles as a delicious steak sauce. Save a bit of the fresh marinade (not the marinade that the raw meat has been sitting in) to drizzle over top of the meat once it's been cooked.
- You can prepare the marinade in a bowl or small blender (we love the Ninja). I tend to prefer making it in the blender since it makes it more smooth and thick, which is perfect for coating the meat and using as a sauce afterwards. But it's a personal preference how you choose to prepare it!
- I recommend marinating the meat for at least 30 minutes to let it absorb all of those delicious flavours. Simply place the meat in a bowl or bag, seal the bag, toss gently to coat, and place in the refrigerator to marinate. I suggest not marinating for more than 4 hours if using a tender cut of steak. For tougher cuts, marinate for at least 4 hours, but no longer than 24 hours.
- The nutritional information is based on a 2 tablespoons serving of marinade. The nutritional amount may vary depend on how much marinade you use.
