- â…“ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1½ Tbsp garlic powder
- 3 Tbsp dried basil
- 1½ Tbsp dried parsley flakes
- 1 tsp ground white pepper

- 1 tsp minced garlic
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or container, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dried basil, dried parsley flakes, ground white pepper, cayenne pepper, and minced garlic until fully blended.
- Marinate the Meat: Place your steak or desired cut of meat in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Refrigerate: Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. This allows the flavors to deeply penetrate and tenderize the meat.
- Cook as Desired: Remove the meat from the marinade and cook it using your preferred method—grilling, pan-searing, or broiling—until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Discard the used marinade.
Notes
- For best results, marinate steaks for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours; do not marinate longer to prevent the meat texture from becoming mushy due to the acidic lemon juice.
- Discard leftover marinade to avoid cross-contamination.
- Can be used for other meats like chicken or pork for a flavorful boost.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to control the heat level based on preference.
