Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (does not have to be an expensive one)
1/4 cup soy sauce (for a less salty flavor I recommend low sodium soy sauce)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional-but adds a delightful smoky flavor) (optional)
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons instant minced garlic (comes in a jar)
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 1/2 lbs rib eye steaks or 2 1/2 lbs flank steaks

Steps:

Combine all liquid ingredients in a medium bowl. Add dry ingredients to liquid ingredients. (Make sure all ingredients are mixed completely.).
Place steaks in a shallow, non-porous dish, and pour marinade over steaks. For optimal flavor, rub the marinade into the meat. (I sometimes use a plastic bag for easier storage and clean-up.).
Cover and let marinade in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours.
Grill steaks for 7-8 minutes per side on a lightly oiled grate or until internal temperature reaches at least 145°.
