Print Recipe

This easy Gordon Ramsay-inspired steak marinade uses balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs, and Dijon mustard to create juicy, flavorful steaks with a caramelized crust. Perfect for grilling, pan-searing, or broiling, it’s a simple recipe that delivers steakhouse results at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
  • 2 pounds steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip, 1-inch thick)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and sea salt until smooth and combined.
  2. Place steaks in a large zip-top bag or glass baking dish. Pour marinade over steaks, turning to coat all sides. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours, flipping once halfway through.
  3. Remove steaks from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.
  4. Preheat a large cast iron skillet or grill over high heat until almost smoking. Brush lightly with oil if needed.
  5. Cook steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (125-130°F), or adjust for preferred doneness. Use tongs to flip; do not press down. Optionally, baste with leftover marinade during the last minute of cooking (boil marinade first if it touched raw meat).
  6. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Slice against the grain and serve warm, spooning any juices over the top.

Notes

Do not marinate steaks for more than 24 hours to avoid mushy texture. Pat steaks dry before cooking for best sear. Use a thermometer for precise doneness. For gluten-free, use tamari and fish sauce instead of Worcestershire. The marinade works well for chicken, pork, or portobello mushrooms (adjust marinating times).
