Ingredients

  • ½ cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp Season All {or any type of all-purpose seasoning salt}
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Put a gallon-sized Ziplock bag in a bowl and add all the ingredients of the marinade to the bag. (The bowl helps keep the bag upright and in place.)
  • Seal the bag and shake the bag around a bit, as well as squish it around with your hands to mix all the ingredients.
  • Add the steak and gently shake the bag around again, until the marinade covers the steak.
  • Allow to marinate for 3-6 hours, depending on the thickness of your steak.
  • Grill steak 2-10 minutes per side, depending on the type of steak used and overall thickness.
  • Let steak rest for 5-10 minutes after grilling, to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice, serve & enjoy!

Notes

I provide the nutritional information, but know that you don't actually consume a vast majority of the marinade! So the sodium & sugar count especially isn't an accurate portrayal of what you eat.
