Notes
Most standard 3 oz portions of steak can do with a quick marinade, but some need a little longer. 4 to 6 hours is our maximum time for marinating steaks. After that, we find the texture of the beef can become soft and mushy, which is undesirable.Marinate the steak in a resealable Ziploc bag or glass container. Avoid metal pans or trays, as the acid in the marinade can react with the metal causing additional undesired flavors.Always marinate meat and steaks in the refrigerator.
