Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a mixing bowl, combine the Italian salad dressing, barbecue sauce, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, steak seasoning, seasoned salt, onion powder, and white sugar. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Whisk all ingredients together vigorously until the sugar and seasonings are fully dissolved and evenly distributed in the liquids. This ensures a consistent flavor profile throughout the marinade. (Estimated time: 3 minutes)

03

Step
1 mins

Place your steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

04

Step
4 hrs

Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. Marinate the steaks in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor penetration. (Estimated time: 30 minutes - 4 hours)

05

Step
1 mins

Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Cook the steaks according to your preferred method (grilling, pan-searing, broiling) to your desired level of doneness. (Estimated time: Varies based on cooking method)

For an extra layer of flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade.
If you're using a leaner cut of steak, consider adding a tablespoon of olive oil to the marinade to help keep the steak moist.
Marinating for longer than 4 hours can sometimes result in a mushy texture, especially with more delicate cuts of steak.
