How to Make Italian Garlic Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add your steak (or chicken, pork, etc.) to the marinade, ensuring all sides are coated.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor. The longer it marinates, the more delicious it becomes!
  4. Before cooking, remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear.
  5. Grill, pan-sear, or bake your steak according to your preferred cooking method and desired doneness. Season generously with McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning (optional) before cooking for an extra layer of flavor.
  6. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
