### How to Use the Marinade
**Step 1: Mix It Up**
Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl or shake in a mason jar until well combined.
**Step 2: Marinate Your Steak**
Place your steaks in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, making sure it’s fully coated. Seal and refrigerate for **at least 2 hours**, but preferably **4–8 hours**. For even more flavor, let it marinate overnight.
> *Note: Avoid marinating more than 24 hours, especially with thinner cuts, as the acid can begin to break down the meat too much.*
**Step 3: Cook It Your Way**
Remove the steaks from the marinade and let them come to room temperature before cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels for a better sear.
Grill, broil, or pan-sear to your preferred doneness—medium-rare is often ideal to let the flavors shine while keeping it juicy.
**Step 4: Rest and Slice**
Let your steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking to lock in the juices. Then slice and serve!

### Tips for Steak Marinade Success
– **Use quality steak**: This marinade elevates any cut, but starting with a good-quality piece of meat makes a big difference.
– **Don’t skip drying**: Drying the surface of your steak before cooking gives you that golden-brown crust.
– **Double the marinade**: Make extra to brush over the steak while grilling or to drizzle over the finished dish (just boil it first if it touched raw meat).
