This Balsamic Steak Marinade can be made using simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. There is no need to measure anything precisely, so it couldn't be easier!
Place all ingredients in medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Makes about 1-1/2 cups marinade - enough for about 1-1/2 pounds of meat.
Place steak in shallow baking dish or zip-top bag and pour marinade over steak. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to overnight, turning once if possible.
Notes
While I’ve given measurements in the recipe card below, go ahead and just eyeball every ingredient. Life is too short to have to clean a bunch of measuring cups and spoons for a marinade. Precision measurements are just not necessary here.
As long as the general proportions are correct, the end result will be delicious.
Use a glug of oil, a few squeezes of lemon, and a spoonful of brown sugar. Becoming a skilled home cook is all about trusting your instincts.
