    Asian Beef Marinade

    More than almost any other meal, I love grilling steaks. My family looks forward to steak dinners like nothing else, and there are a few favorites I always turn to when I'm planning on what to make for them. Grilled New York Strip Steak is one of them, complete with this Asian marinade for steak.

    This is the best Asian beef marinade I have ever tried. Let me tell you, I could use this for every steak I make. It is so flavorful and the best part is, it's easy to make! You only need 5 ingredients and a bowl to mix everything in.

    You can easily make this Asian marinade recipe gluten-free and keto-friendly. Give it a try with your next steak dinner recipe, and I know you'll love it as much as I do.

    Asian Marinade for Steak FAQs

    How long should steaks marinate?

    At least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours or so, depending on the steak. You can over-marinate, so I don't recommend leaving your steaks to marinade for longer than 8 hours.

    Does soy sauce tenderize steak?

    Yes! This Asian steak marinade uses soy sauce, which is great for tenderizing steak because it helps break down a tough protein in beef, making it juicier and more tender.

    Gluten-Free Asian Marinade Instructions

    Our Asian steak marinade uses soy sauce, which usually contains gluten. If cooking gluten-free, use a soy sauce substitute such as tamari or coconut aminos. Coconut aminos work best if you want a keto-friendly steak.

    Keto Asian Marinade Instructions

    Replace soy sauce with coconut aminos, and balsamic vinegar with red wine vinegar, to make this Asian marinade steak keto-friendly.

    Asian Steak Marinade Variations

    • You can use spicy sesame oil or normal sesame oil in place of the Mongolian fire oil in this recipe, but I recommend giving the fire oil a try. If you're concerned about spice levels, it won't add any spice to the steak. It only adds flavor!
    • This Asian steak marinade recipe makes enough for at least 4 steaks. If cooking for more, double the ingredients!
