Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey.
  2. Stir in minced garlic, black pepper, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
  3. Place the steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over the meat, and coat it well.
  4. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
  5. When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade, pat it dry, and let it rest at room temperature.
  6. Grill, pan-sear, or broil the steak to your desired doneness.
  7. Let it rest briefly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Keep in mind not to rush the marinating process for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. This recipe can easily adapt with different herbs or citrus juices for a twist.
