How to Make Cantrell Sauce Steak Marinade And Grilling Sauce

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil (or 6 tablespoons of either) in a skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Remove from heat.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup soy sauce and 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Add the juice of 1 lemon.
  6. Marinate your meat (at least 30 minutes, longer for deeper flavor) in the sauce while your grill preheats.
  7. Grill the meat, turning and basting with the marinade every 4 minutes, until cooked to your desired doneness.
  8. Pour the remaining marinade into a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil for 60 seconds to ensure it's safe for dipping. (This kills any harmful bacteria).
  9. If the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water, broth, or wine to thin it to your desired consistency.
  10. Serve the boiled sauce as a delicious dipping sauce for your grilled masterpiece!
