Best Steak Marinade in Existence

Instructions:

 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Place steaks in a large resealable bag or shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the steaks, turning to coat evenly.
  4. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 4–8 hours.
  5. Remove steaks from the marinade and let excess drip off.
  6. Grill, pan-sear, or broil steaks to your desired doneness.
  7. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
