Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, ground black pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and brown sugar (if using). Stir the ingredients until well combined.
- Place the steak pieces into a ziplock bag or a shallow, airtight container.
- Pour the prepared marinade over the steaks, making sure they are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Seal the bag or container and refrigerate for at least 1 to 4 hours. For the best results, marinate the steak overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat fully.
- Preheat your grill, stovetop grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid.
- Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness (medium-rare, medium, or well-done).
- If using a stovetop grill pan or skillet: Add a drizzle of oil to the pan and cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are cooked to your preference.
- Once cooked to perfection, transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute and ensure maximum tenderness.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for an extra burst of color and freshness.
- Serve the tenderized steak alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.

Notes
You can adjust the marinating time according to your schedule. The longer the steaks marinate, the more tender and flavorful they will become.
The brown sugar in the marinade adds a hint of sweetness to balance the savory flavors. Feel free to omit it if you prefer a less sweet taste.
For optimal tenderness, remember to let the cooked steaks rest before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to settle and ensures a juicy, succulent result.
This tenderized steak recipe works equally well with various cuts of beef, so choose your favorite cut or what's readily available at your local market. Enjoy the delightful flavors of this tenderized steak with every savory bite!
