Excellent, simple marinade, especially for those who like to doctor up their recipes. I used it on a cheap London broil, and I added 1/3 can of beer (makes the meat extra tender), cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. I also upped the original ingredients to balance with the beer. Within 4 hours, the steak was practically falling apart in the bag. After a quick broil, it was the best $3 steak I'd ever had! It definitely tops those $20+ restaurant steaks that the cooks never seem to season right.

As a cattleman, I don't normally like anything that would mask the natural flavor of the beef. This marinade added a truely fantastic flavor to the steak. It definitely complimented the natural flavor of the steak.

Really great marinade. I followed instructions exactly. I often purchase in bulk and decided to try making the marinade and then adding it to the steak and then freezing them. WOW!! GREAT FLAVOR! Take them out the night before ...YUMMY! Freezing marinade on meat is wonderful if you haven't tried it. Works great for fast dinner nights.

I was nervous about using anything on my 4 beautiful ribeyes. We don't eat a lot of red meat but I bought the steaks on sale for a special meal (and they were still a big bite in my food budget!) This recipe had so many good reviews and the ingredients were in my pantry. So I did a 'Zaar meal with grilled ribeyes, Mean Chef's french fries, and a green salad. This was as good as any meal we've had in a steak house! The recipe made the right amount to have the meat well-coated but not swimming in liquid. I threw in some diced onions and doubled the garlic. Refrigerated everything in a zip-lock bag for 6 hrs. Grilled the steaks on a hot grill about 5 minutes a side to medium weIl. The meat was exceptionally tender and nicely seasoned without being overwhelmed by the marinade. The meat wasn't overly salty, didn't need any other seasoning or sauce. It was a beautiful meal and impressed my guests. I can't imagine doing my steak any other way from now on. Thanks LuuvBunny!!

Wonderful flavor and I used Balsamic vinegar and have also tried it with Red Wine vinegar and both were great. Sometimes I even add some cayenne, basil, thyme, rosemary, tarragon, white pepper and some red wine. Thanks again for this great marinade. Katherine

Fantastic! I used Dijon mustard, added 1 tbsp of Montreal seasoning and zip-bagged overnight. No reduction in natural steak taste, only enhancement & tenderization (I had cheap chuck steaks & it was like a meat cut upgrade!! Highly Recommended !!!

Awesome marinade for steaks!!! I didn't have the time to marinate it overnight. I mixed all the ingredients together (using the balsamic vinegar) in a ziploc baggie. I also added some horseradish and garlic powder (along with the minced garlic). I tenderized my steak with a tenderized that looks like a bunch of nails so that the marinade would be able to soak into the steak. I put the steak in the baggie and let it marinate for about 3 hours. I grilled the steak to a nice medium rare. The results were fabulous! I had a juicy, tender, flavorful steak that would rival any restaurant. I normally use steak sauce and horseradish with my steak, but this steak didn't need anything. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe. I will be using this often in the future.

We liked it but it was a little strong in the worcestershire department. I think next time we would tweak the 1:1 ratio of everything to lessen the worcestershire. Not bad though! Thanks!

you're right, it was totally amazing! Didn't need barbecue sauce or anything. Thanks

Loved, loved, loved! My husband said the steak was so much better than anything you could get at a steak house.
