Steaks are one of our favorite meals around here. While it’s easy to toss some steaks on the grill with a little salt and pepper, sometimes it is nice to get just a little more flavor into the meat. That’s where a good marinade comes in!

We like ribeye steaks, but this marinade would work with any other steak you prefer (or just whatever you have on hand). Put your steaks in a large Ziploc bag before you get the marinade mixed up.

This marinade is so easy – it has four simple ingredients. Just mix together some soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and garlic (see the recipe below for the amount). Mix it all together in a small bowl, and give it a good whisk to combine.

Pour the marinade over the steaks in the Ziploc bag, and seal the bag up. Get as much of the air out of the bag as you can. You want as much of the steaks to be in contact with the marinade as possible. Lay the bag flat in a baking pan (just in case there is a leak) and stash it in the refrigerator.

You’ll want these steaks to marinade for about 8-12 hours. So mix this up quickly in the morning before you head out the door. Or set it up the night before. A good overnight soak won’t hurt the steaks at all! If you can, flip the steaks over once while they are marinating. Just flip the bag over so the “top” of the steaks is now on the “bottom,” sitting in the marinade.

Take the steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you’ll cook them, to let them warm up just a little bit.

Preheat your grill to high. Take the steaks out of the marinade and put them right on the grill. Cook your steaks – turning once – for 2-5 minutes on each side. They’ll cook fast on your hot grill, so don’t get distracted! The cooking time will vary depending on how thick your steaks are and how done you like them. (This post has all the tips you need to get your steak cooked perfectly.)

The best way to tell if a steak is done is with a meat thermometer. Check out this post to see what temperature you’re shooting for. You can also cheat a little bit. I’ve got some tips in this post that will help you judge how done your steak is without poking it full of holes with your thermometer.

Aim for only turning the steak over once. If your steak sticks to the grill, it isn’t quite ready to flip over. The high heat should give your steak a really nice sear that easily lifts off the grill after about 2 minutes.

Once your steak is done, let it rest for about 5 minutes under loosely tented aluminum foil. The foil will keep the steak warm, and the resting will keep all the juices inside the steak where they belong.

That’s it! An easy marinade, and quick dinner. Get to grilling!

Enjoy!

    […] Depending on how thick your pork chops are, they will need to be on the grill for about 7-10 minutes total. Just like with steak, the goal is to only flip them over once. If you need to turn them more often to keep the sugar from burning, do that. The sugar will stick to the grill a little bit, so you can’t use the same “if it sticks to the grill it isn’t ready to turn yet” rule that I told you about with this steak recipe. […]
