The Best Greek Steak Marinade
An authentic Greek marinade featuring fresh oregano and olive oil, perfect for infusing your steak with vibrant Mediterranean flavors.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, minced fresh oregano, all-purpose Greek seasoning, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Whisk all ingredients together until well combined. The marinade is now ready to use.
- Place your desired cut of steak (1 to 2 pounds) in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably 2 to 4 hours for deeper flavor. For best results, marinate overnight (up to 12 hours).
- Before cooking, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Grill, pan-sear, or broil the marinated steak to your desired doneness, then rest before slicing and serving.
