For an extra layer of complexity, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the marinade. If you don't have red wine on hand, red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar can be used as a substitute, but use slightly less (about 2 tablespoons) as they are more acidic. Marinating for longer than 24 hours is not recommended, as the steak may become too soft. Always discard the marinade after use to prevent bacterial contamination.
