Ingredients

• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 dash liquid smoke flavoring
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
• ⅓ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
• 2 (8 ounce) boneless rib-eye steaks
• 1 pinch Montreal steak seasoning, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Place steaks in a flat baking dish or container. Cut slits at 1-inch intervals in the fat around the edges of the steaks. Gently pierce both sides of each steak a few times with a fork.

Step 3

Sprinkle each steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Montreal steak seasoning. Pat seasonings into steaks.

Step 4

Whisk olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and liquid smoke together in a bowl. Pour marinade over steaks to coat. Cover container or baking dish with plastic wrap and marinate steaks in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Turn steaks over and marinate for another 2 hours.

Step 5

Cook the steaks on the preheated grill until they start to firm, and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 8 to 10 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
