Marinate the Steak: Place steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully covered. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the Steak: Remove steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill each side for 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
Rest the Steak: Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve: Serve with your choice of side dishes.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with Tamari or coconut aminos.
Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of the steak and desired level of doneness.
Allow the steak to come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
Resting the steak before slicing is crucial for retaining its juices.
