- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, mustard, pepper, salt and herbs until well combined.
Marinate the Steak

Preheat the Grill

Cook the Steak
- Place steak on the grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust time for desired doneness.
Rest the Meat
- Remove steak from heat. Cover loosely with foil. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes to retain juices.
Slice Properly
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain. This keeps the meat tender and easy to chew.
Serve and Enjoy

Notes
- Marinate overnight for deeper flavor
- Do not overcook to keep meat tender
- Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness
- Add chili flakes for spicy kick

- Let steak reach room temperature before cooking
- Always slice against the grain
