Why This Recipe Is So Delicious

This marinade brings out rich, savory flavors that make every bite of beef tender and juicy. It’s easy to prepare and uses simple ingredients you probably already have on hand. Perfect for adding a homemade touch to your grilled or pan-seared dishes.

Cooking Advice

- Marinate the beef for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Use a resealable plastic bag to evenly coat the meat and save mess.
- Let the beef rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped onion and garlic with the grapeseed oil. Add in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and steak sauce, then pour in the water. Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and red pepper for a bit of heat. Stir in the mustard, liquid smoke, and brown sugar until everything is well mixed. Toss in the bay leaves and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Give it one last stir to blend all those flavors together before using.

Serving Options

Serve the beef with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It also pairs well with rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the flavorful juices. Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a bright finish.

How To Keep It Fresh

Store any leftover marinade in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not reuse marinade that has been in contact with raw meat unless you boil it first. Cooked beef can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
