Description

This Soy Garlic Steak Marinade recipe offers a flavorful and quick way to prepare tender, juicy New York strip steaks with a delicious blend of soy sauce, garlic, and olive oil. Perfectly grilled to medium-rare, these steaks are enhanced by a charred crust and optionally served with wasabi butter for a subtle kick.

Ingredients

Steak

  • 2 thick-cut New York strip steaks, about 1 pound each

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, grated on a microplane
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For Serving (Optional)

  • Wasabi butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small dish, whisk together the soy sauce, grated garlic, and olive oil until fully combined to create the flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the Steaks: Pour the marinade into a shallow dish and add the steaks, turning them several times to coat evenly. Allow the steaks to marinate for 15 to 30 minutes so they absorb the savory flavors.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Set up your grill for two-zone cooking and preheat it to high heat (about 500°F / 260°C) for at least 5 minutes to ensure a hot sear.
  4. Prepare Steaks for Grilling: Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to promote a good sear and prevent steaming.
  5. Grill the Steaks: Clean and lightly oil the grill grates, then place the steaks over direct heat. Cook until deeply charred, approximately 3 minutes per side, depending on steak thickness. After searing, move the steaks to indirect heat, cover the grill, and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
  6. Rest and Serve: Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil. Let them rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice and serve with optional wasabi butter for an extra layer of flavor.

Notes

  • Marinating for up to 30 minutes maximizes flavor without overpowering the steak.
  • Two-zone grilling allows for a sear and then gentle finishing to desired doneness.
  • Patting the steak dry before grilling helps achieve a better crust.
  • Use a meat thermometer for precise cooking to medium-rare.
  • Wasabi butter adds a spicy, creamy complement to the grilled steak but is optional.
