Ingredients

Marinade Ingredients

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 3 to 4 pounds steak ribeye, strip, sirloin, filet mignon, etc.

Garlic Herb Butter (Optional)

  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary finely chopped

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a large Pyrex measuring cup or mixing bowl and whisk together.
  • Place steak in a large, ziploc bag and pour marinade over the top. Close securely.
  • Marinate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. (A bare minimum of an hour.)

To grill

  • Preheat grill to medium high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry to remove excess marinade and to prevent flare-ups on the grill.
  • Grill steak to desired doneness.
  • Remove steaks from grill and tent with foil. Let rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.

For the Garlic Herb Butter

  • Cream softened butter with a spoon or mixer just until smooth. Stir in garlic and chopped herbs until combined.
  • Spoon butter mixture onto a square or parchment paper, plastic wrap or wax paper and shape into a log (about 6 inches long). Pull the paper or plastic wrap tightly around it and roll up, twisting the ends tightly.
  • Chill in the refrigerator until the butter is solid again, about 2 to 3 hours. Slice and serve on bread, steak, potatoes, shrimp whatever you want!
