Ingredients for Big Steak Marinade

  • Top Round Steak
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Tabasco Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • Garlic Clove
  • Fresh Ground Pepper

How to Make Big Steak Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon dry mustard, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup red wine, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Place your steak (approximately 1.5-2 lbs) in a large resealable plastic bag.
  3. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Seal the bag, removing excess air, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. For the best flavor, marinate overnight.
  5. One hour before grilling, remove the steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  7. Grill the steak to your desired doneness (approximately 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
  8. Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
