Notes

Storage Tips

Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze slices in freezer bags for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat gently in a skillet to avoid drying out.

Extra Tips for the Recipe

  • Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
  • Let the steak come to room temp before grilling for even cooking.
  • Avoid over-marinating to prevent toughness from the acid in lemon juice.

Variations of the Recipe

  • Spicy Twist: Add red pepper flakes to the marinade for heat.
  • Asian-Inspired: Swap herbs for ginger, soy sauce (low-sodium), and sesame oil.
  • Veggie-Loaded: Grill bell peppers and onions alongside for a fajita-style healthy steak recipe.

Make Ahead Options

Prep the marinade and steak up to 24 hours in advance. Store in the fridge until ready to grill. You can also grill extra and slice for salads or wraps later in the week.
