How to Make Better Than A 1 Marinade For Steaks

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the marinade from step 1 and 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar.
Set the reserved marinade aside.
Place the remaining marinade and steaks (about 1.5 lbs) in a gallon-size resealable zipper-lock bag.
Remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal it tightly.
Refrigerate for 1 hour, flipping the bag halfway through to ensure even marinating.
Remove steaks from the marinade, allowing excess to drip back into the bag.
Discard the used marinade and bag.
Grill steaks to your desired doneness (approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare).
Transfer the grilled steaks to a shallow pan and pour the reserved marinade from step 3 over the top.
Loosely tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
Slice the steak or serve whole, drizzling with the reserved marinade if desired.
