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 hand written 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.
