Marinade for Beef
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 3/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 6 beef tenderloin steaks or 1 beef tenderloin roast (about 4-6 lbs)
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Start by gathering all the ingredients. This marinade comes together quickly, so make sure you have everything on hand.
-
Mix Marinade: In a glass deep dish or large zip-lock bag, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the marinade is uniform in consistency.
-
Marinate Beef: Place the beef tenderloin steaks or roast into the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for several hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. For best results, marinate overnight for maximum flavor infusion.

Cooking Options:
-
Grilling: When you’re ready to cook, remove the beef from the marinade and discard any excess liquid. Grill the steaks over medium-high heat, basting with the marinade occasionally, until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remember to adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the steaks and your preference for rare, medium-rare, or well-done.
-
Baking: Alternatively, for a beef tenderloin roast, you can choose to bake it in the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the marinated beef roast along with the marinade into a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes for rare. If you’re cooking a whole tenderloin (4-6 lbs), you may need to increase the cooking time to 45-60 minutes at 425°F (220°C) for rare, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). For a medium-well result, bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 2 hours or until the desired level of doneness is achieved.

-
Resting and Serving: Once the beef is cooked to perfection, remove it from the heat source and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy and flavorful outcome. Serve your marinated beef steaks or roast with your favorite sides and enjoy a delicious meal with your guests.
With this tantalizing marinade recipe, your beef dishes will become the star of any dinner party, leaving everyone craving for more. Whether you choose to grill or bake, the result will be tender, succulent, and bursting with irresistible flavors. Give it a try and elevate your culinary creations to new heights! 🥩✨
