Lemon-Herb Steak Marinade

When I put this marinade together, it seemed a little strange to me for steak. It smelled amazing, and turned out perfect! It's another meal that's pretty fast. The most time consuming part was crushing the garlic, and mincing the shallot. I didn't notice that it said to process in the blender, but it worked out anyway :)

4 - 1 inch steaks
1/2 cup vegetable or olive oil
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
Juice and grated rind of two lemons (about 1/4 cup)
1 Tbsp fresh basil or 1 tsp dried
1 shallot or onion, minced
1/4 tsp oregano
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp pepper
  • Process all ingredients (other than steak) in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  • Place in baking dish or zip lock bag with steak and marinade at least two hours in refrigerator.
  • Let steak stand 20 minutes at room temperature.
  • Grill steaks at 400 degrees until desired doneness is reached.
