Instructions:
-
Prepare Marinade:
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, ketchup, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Stir until the ingredients are well mixed, forming a savory marinade.
-
Prep the Steak:
- Prior to marinating, prepare the steak by creating numerous small slits on both sides. Be careful not to pierce through to the other side. Alternatively, score both sides of the steak in a diamond-cut pattern, resembling a scored ham. This enhances the absorption of the marinade.
-
Marinate the Steak:
- Rub the marinade thoroughly into the meat on both sides, ensuring an even distribution of flavors. For optimal results, wrap the marinated steak very tightly in heavy foil. Place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse into the meat. Overnight marination yields even more flavorful results.
-
Rotate the Steak:
- Throughout the marination process, turn the steak every 3 hours or so. This helps to evenly distribute the marinade and intensify the flavor profile.
-
Preheat the Grill:
- Prior to grilling, preheat your grill on high heat. Spray the grate with PAM or lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
-
Grill the Steak:
- Once the grill is adequately heated, place the marinated steak on the grill. Grill each side on high heat for approximately 5 to 8 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Keep a close eye on the steak to ensure it achieves the perfect crusty exterior while remaining tender and juicy inside.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once grilled to perfection, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve your succulent steak with your favorite sides and enjoy a flavorful culinary experience that’s sure to delight your taste buds.
