Cook. Remove the steak from the marinade, pat dry, and cook as you like.

Tips for Marinating Steak

Depending on the cut of beef that you’re using, you may need to slightly change up your approach to marinating. Here are some helpful tips for marinating a few of the most popular cuts of beef:

Beef chuck – Beef chuck is one of the most commonly marinated cuts of beef, although it can be slightly tough. With that in mind, we recommend marinating cuts of beef chuck for between 4-6 hours with this recipe.
Sirloin steak – Since most cuts of sirloin steak tend to be rather tender to begin with, you’ll be able to get away with a shorter marinade time. Somewhere between 2-4 hours should be ideal with this recipe.
Beef brisket – If you’re planning on cooking beef brisket, then you may want to consider leaving it to marinate overnight. Since cuts of beef brisket tend to be quite tough, an ideal marinating time with this particular recipe will be between 10-12 hours, making it an ideal candidate for overnight marinating.

How to Cook Steak After Applying a Steak Marinade

Once you’ve completed marinating your chosen cut of steak, you’re going to want to keep the following pointers in mind before you cook it:

Pat dry your cut of steak after marinating.
If desired, you can add more salt and black pepper (or your preferred seasoning rub).
In our opinion, the very best way to cook a marinated steak is to pan fry it.
