It’s that time of year again for full-on grilling season, and I could not be more excited about it. Around here we have a definite season for grilling since half of the year it’s too cold to stand outside and flip anything with a pair of tongs, though back in January I did put on about 13 layers and stand out on the back deck to make dinner a few nights. The things I’ll do out of sheer desperation for grilled food!

But, now that the weather is making a definite trend toward summer, I’ve been grilling up a storm (and wearing only two layers!) and the first thing I’ve been working on is a recipe for a perfect, super juicy. flavorful steak.

It’s hard to believe that growing up I thought steak was dry, tough, and flavorless, so therefore I wouldn’t eat it. In fact, I didn’t have a good steak until I was getting into adulthood. Then, I finally realized that steak didn’t have to be dry, tough, or flavorless. In fact, it could be crazy-delicious, juicy, and bursting with big, bold flavors. It’s all in the marinade!

Although the key to a great steak is the marinade, don’t worry, you won’t have to plan for hours in advance to reap its benefits. That’s because today I’m sharing with you my secret for a 20-minute marinade that will transform even cheaper cuts into delicious and tender steak with enough flavor to make you forget to pull out the A-1.

One Hour Marinade Grilled Flank Steak

This steak marinade starts with a base of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, which makes a perfect combination for tenderizing the meat. I whisk the soy and vinegar together with the oil, worcestershire sauce, honey, herbs, dry mustard, and garlic powder. All of these ingredients will infuse into the steak for big flavor. Add the steak and the marinade into a sealable bag, and chill for 15-20 minutes in the fridge before throwing your steak on the grill.

Though this marinade will work on any cut of steak, it’s true that some are better than others, depending on your personal tastes. I tend to go for a leaner cut of beef, like t-bone, top loin, tenderloin, or ribeye. But, that doesn’t mean I don’t purchase other cuts of steak.

Chuck steaks, hanger, skirt, and flank will taste great after 20 minutes in the perfect steak marinade (thanks soy sauce and balsamic) but you can also lean toward leaving it in the bag longer to really seal in that flavor and make your steak as tender as you prefer, up to 24 hours.

Even though I swear by the 20-minute time on this marinade, you can soak it for longer. For example, if you have extra time or want to make this marinade in the morning or the night before, you can either make it and marinate it longer (up to 6 hours or overnight) or put it all together 20 minutes before you are ready to grill.

If you are using a lesser cut of steak, you can go longer to really tenderize it. If you get in a real pickle or forget about it, your steak will still be good to cook for up to 24 hours in a marinade.

If you are allergic to soy or don’t like the taste of soy, you can use a substitution instead on in the marinade.

Delicious — I LOVE how this grilled skirt steak tastes after marinating and then being grilled. I’ve used way fancier marinades and this easy skirt steak marinade is by far my favorite.

Great for guests — Skirt steaks can feed about 4 people. Grill up a couple (double the marinade) if you have guests. The more, the merrier I say!

You might not find a cut of meet at the grocery or butcher labeled “skirt steak.” It could be called instead London boil or flank steak. Both will work well in this skirt steak marinade but pay attention to whether or not your particular cut is a bit more muscly, as that kind of meat might need a little more time to marinade (go for the two-hour mark in this case).

We love steak at my house but we also love all the sides that you can serve with steak. Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order:

My own (and buy my own groceries too) I eat steak more often — even if it’s not a special occasion. There are so many cuts of steak you can usually find one that’s budget friendly and will taste amazing if you cook it the right way.

But overall I think people enjoy eating steak because it’s a more expensive cut of beef (thereby elevating it to that “special occasion” status). It’s also delicious. It’s flavorful, juicy, and tender (when cooked correctly, of course). And, if you buy the right kind of steak you don’t need much seasoning at all for it to be delicious all on its own.
