You will never need to look for another steak marinade recipe again.
A marinade can make or break your steaks. With so many flavor combinations, it can be hard to decipher the best marinades. So what is absolutely necessary in a steak marinade? An acidic marinade will help break down the muscle fibers, making the steak tender and cut like butter. Because of this needed acidity, we added lemon juice in this marinade to help make your steaks as tender as they can be. Mixed with a perfect blend of seasonings and sauces, this marinade recipe will not disappoint and will soon become the only one you ever use again!
