Description
A mouthwatering steak marinade featuring a blend of oil, soy sauce, garlic, dijon mustard, brown sugar, fresh thyme, and pepper, perfect for adding depth of flavor to your favorite cuts of steak.
Ingredients
Main Marinade:
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (sub rosemary, oregano sage or bay leaf)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Add Filets to a gallon size zipper bag.
- In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients with a whisk and then pour into bag.
Massage the marinade into the filets and put in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. The longer the meat sits with the marinade, the better it will be.
- To cook the filets, add oil to an oven proof pan or skillet and place over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up slightly then add the filets – they should sizzle.
Cook filets for about 2-3 minutes or until a dark crust forms. Turn steaks and do the same on the other side. Then place the pan in the oven and cook the filets for an additional 7 minutes for rare doneness. Let steaks rest for 15 minutes before enjoying to prevent juices from running out. Add a few more minutes if you like your steak more done. See notes below for desired temperatures. Enjoy!
Notes
- The thickness of your steak will also depend on how long you cook it – keep this in mind. Use a meat thermometer to get the exact temperature for doneness.
