  • Marinate steak for at least 4 hours up to overnight. After removing the steak, keep the marinade. Use the leftovers to create a sauce by pouring them into a skillet over medium heat. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, then let it start to simmer and thicken until it forms a sauce.

Notes

  • You can make this a gluten-free marinade for steak by replacing soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
  • Low-sodium soy sauce may also be used.
  • Rice vinegar or white wine vinegar may be used in place of balsamic vinegar.
  • Instead of garlic powder, you can also use fresh garlic or garlic paste.
  • Honey or a mixture of white sugar and maple syrup make a good replacement for brown sugar.
  • Allspice, cinnamon, or nutmeg make a good replacement for ginger.
  • I love the spice added by red pepper flakes, but they are totally optional if you enjoy less spice.
