Notes

🕒 Marinate steaks 2 hours minimum or overnight for deepest flavor, but no longer than 24 hours to prevent mushiness.
♻️ Never reuse marinade that has touched raw meat; make extra if you want basting sauce.
🌡️ Bring refrigerated marinade to room temperature before using for even coating and better absorption.
