How to Make Sear Roasting Steak Marinade Cliff House Copycat

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor. (Overnight is even better!)
  5. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
  6. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper.
  7. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron is ideal) over high heat until very hot.
  8. Add the steak to the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side for a perfect crust.
  9. Reduce heat to medium-high and continue cooking to your desired doneness, using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
  10. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
