Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together well.
2. Place the steak in the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides.
3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours. The longer the marinade, the deeper the flavor.
4. Before grilling, remove the steak from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Tips for Perfect Steak:

• Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic, lemon juice, and herbs will enhance the flavor of the marinade.
• Don’t over-marinate: Marinating for too long, especially with acidic ingredients, can make the meat mushy. 2-6 hours is a sweet spot.
• Let it rest: After grilling, allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting into it to retain its juices.
• Temperature matters: Make sure your steak is at room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking.
