A lemon garlic steak marinade that’s perfect for tougher cuts of meat and only takes a few minutes to put together. Spicy and flavorful, this marinade is definitely a keeper. In fact, it’s delucious.This makes approx. 1 ½ cups marinade which is enough for 2 - 3 pounds of meat.
Whisk together all the ingredients in a 2 cup measure or small bowl. Place meat in a zip top bag and pour the marinade into the bag. If you want some to pour over the cooked meat, reserve a little and set aside for later.
Squish around the meat in the bag to ensure it’s all covered. Remove all the air from the bag and seal. I do this by holding the top of the bag while the bottom is on the counter then I slowly roll the bag to remove the air. Be careful, as this pushes the marinade upward. You don’t want it to spill out. Once it gets close to the top, carefully remove remaining air and seal the bag. If done correctly, it should look like it has been vacuum sealed.
Marinate for at least a few hours to overnight, depending on your cut of meat.
When ready to cook, remove meat from marinade and either broil or grill. Discard remaining marinade. When I broil the meat on a baking sheet, the juices that form in the pan make an excellent sauce.
Notes
*I use a less expensive olive oil for this and sometimes I use half olive oil and half neutral oil. You can make this using all neutral oil as well. The oil is used for transferring the flavor of the marinade so don’t use an expensive oil.
