Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 13 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin, ribeye, or strip steaks (about 1 inch thick, typically four 6-ounce steaks)
Cooking Method
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl or jar, mix together balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, pepper, coriander, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until combined.
- Marinate the Steaks: Place your steaks in a gallon zip-top bag or a lidded container that snugly fits them. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal the bag or container, removing as much air as possible. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Broiler: Set your oven broiler to its highest setting, typically 550°F (or as high as it goes). Position the oven rack about 4 to 6 inches from the broiler element. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Dry the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial to avoid excess marinade burning under the broiler.
- Broil the Steaks: Place the steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Broil for 4 minutes on one side. Flip the steaks with tongs and broil for an additional 4 minutes. Use a digital thermometer to check for doneness—aim for around 130°F for medium-rare to medium steaks. If they’re not ready, flip and broil for an extra minute, checking again. Adjust cooking time to 4 to 6 minutes per side, based on the thickness of your steaks.
- Check for Doneness: If the steaks are charred but still undercooked, lower the oven rack or turn off the oven, using residual heat to finish cooking for another minute or two.
- Rest and Serve: Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy with your favorite side dishes.
