Kittencal's Marinade for Grilled Steak

This steak is awesome. Very Flavorful. I think I would rather eat this steak than have sex.

I used this marinade on top sirloin steaks. I let them sit for 24 hours and then rinsed them and patted them dry. I was hoping for something that would soften the meat with a slight touch of a 'something' that works with the beef flavor but still lets the beef taste be the forefront. That's not this recipe. It smells garlicky, but it tastes like vinegar and soy. Not much beef taste. They were still eaten, but it was agreed that it wasn't what we wanted. (like a steakhouse marinade). I will stick with salt, pepper and a pat of butter. Thanks anyway.

I was really looking forward to this, but it was kind of disappointing. I did it exactly as written except I didn't have enough Dijon mustard. So I used yellow mustard for the remaining amount needed (about 1/2 tsp I think). I don't think the mustard was the problem tho. I think for me, the balsamic vinegar gave it too much of a sweet taste. I think next time I'll try omitting it or maybe try a different vinegar. It wasn't gross or any thing. It just wasn't very tasty to me, as the sweetness ruined the other good flavors that were going on. My fiance really enjoyed this dish, so I'm giving it four stars. I will be for sure trying this again, just a little differently. Thanks for sharing :)

I put this marinate in a ziplock bag with a sirloin steak and took it on a camping trip, so it ended up in there for about two days before it was cooked. Turned out great! I never ended up putting more salt on it. The salt already in the Worchestershire and soy sauces turned out to be enough. The marinade really complimented the flavor of the beef without overpowering it.

Great marinade!!!!!! I did double the black pepper but will definitely be increasing it more the next time around. Might try upping the W sauce too. But definitely a keeper! Thannnxxxx :)

Well, based on all the rave reviews, we did a Kittencal-only dinner tonight. Unfortunately, I must disagree with this being the "perfect" steak preparation. Turning it four times kept any true searing from occurring, so the steak ended up being just sorta beige-y - no grill marks to really speak of. Between the worcestershire, soy, and dijon mustard, it was way too salty for our tastes, and the vinegar just introduced a really jarring note to the whole thing. Sorry, but it was a disappointing steak.

A very good marinade. I used it on tri tip, marinading overnight. Great leftovers. I think I will cut back on the mustard a little next time though.

Excellent flavor and easy on-hand ingredients. I used whole-grain dijon and really liked the addition of the crunchy mustard seeds to the finished product. Flavorful and tender. I simply seasoned it with montreal steak seasoning and cooked it on the grill using indirect heat. I did use a whole slice of sirloin and not individual steaks. I then sliced it thin against the grain. Yum. Leftovers made an amazing sandwich the next day.

Our steaks turned out really tender, and really good! The steaks had been frozen, wouldn't normally freeze steaks, but my husband had to have surgery on his mouth, and did what had to be done. I was really surprised that the meat was so moist and tender afterwards. I made sure to do as the tip suggested with letting the meat come to room temp before grilling. Give this one a try!

Talk about flavorful and tender steaks! I halved the recipe and used it for 2 filet mignons which I marinated for 24 hours. I then wrapped them in bacon and we grilled them. They were a wonderful main for our anniversary dinner!

Yowza! This is the one! The marinade above all others! The steaks marinaded on the countertop for 24 hrs and were tender and flavourful. Added 1/4 cup red wine into the brew. Thanks, Kittencal!

Wow, Kittencal, this will be one on my favorites from now on! I used T-Bones, and threw in some mushrooms with the marinade. I put the mushrooms on greased foil, and grilled alongside the steaks. Served with grilled asparagus and the meal was perfect! Delicious flavor, thanks!

This is an outstanding marinade for steaks! I used it for a dinner with guests and everyone thought it was better than a steakhouse marinade. Thanks for another winner, Kitten!

Very easy and very good. Four hours was enough for plenty of flavor on tenderloin steaks.

Mighty tasty! I forgot to season the steaks while grilling but it still came out delicious, even though I used low sodium soy sauce. I will most definitely be making this again. Thank you.

An excellent marinade! I did not use quite enough garlic though, and used less oil, which was fine. Everyone loved it! Thanks!
