Marinades are a busy mom’s best friend.

If I’m being proactive I’ll throw meat and a marinade in a zip lock bag the night before and let it refrigerate all day.

Just come home from work, throw the meat on the grill or under the broiler, put together a quick side dish or two, and you’ve got dinner.

Or, if the inspiration hits you at the last-minute, same process, just let your meat marinade for half an hour (or 15 if you get impatient…).

This is the perfect marinade for beef, chicken, and pork!

I’m all for bottled marinades for ease but, when it comes to taste, nothing beats this classic steakhouse marinade.

I found this recipe on a handwritten note in my Grandma’s recipe box and I’ve been using it as often as possible ever since. It’s super easy, you just mix it right inside the ziplock bag.

What You’ll Need to Make One Cup of Steak Marinade

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp tabasco sauce
Either 2 cloves garlic minced or 1/2 tsp garlic powder

How to Make the Best Steak Marinade Ever!

Literally, just dump all of the ingredients into a zip lock bag and slosh it around a bit to mix well. Add your choice of meat and let it marinade as long as you see fit.

I do like to save about 1/4 of a cup, for brushing on the meat during cooking, but this is totally up to you.
