Marinade for Steak
This recipe creates a versatile marinade to tenderise and flavour steak. Key ingredients include olive oil, white wine or lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, and a blend of herbs and seasonings. The acidic component helps break down the meat's fibres. Combine everything in a jar, then pour it over the steak and leave it to marinate for several hours or overnight before cooking. The method can also be adapted for other meats.
