  4. 4

    Remove from fridge 1 hour before cooking.

  5. 5

    Place steak on a hot grill or preheated grill pan and discard remaining marinade.

  6. 6

    Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  7. 7

Tips

Tip 1

Remove steak from fridge 1 hour before grilling to allow even cooking from edge to center.

Tip 2

Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking; rest period carries residual heat.

Tip 3

Reserve a small portion of marinade before adding raw steak if you prefer extra sauce for serving.

Good to Know

Storage

Cooked steak keeps refrigerated up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Make Ahead

Marinate steak up to 24 hours for deeper flavor development. Slice after resting; do not slice before resting to retain juices.

Serve With

Slice against the grain and serve with grilled vegetables, salad, or cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.

Watch

Do not skip the 5-minute rest after cooking to avoid losing juices when sliced.
