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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
