New York strip is a tender cut of steak so you do not want to marinade it for a long time or overnight because the marinade would actually toughen the steak up. If you are using a quality steak like New York strip, the best steak marinade is something with good quality ingredients to complement the steak flavor and something that will work if you only marinate the steak for a couple of hours.
Acidic ingredients in steak marinades work to break down the tough fibers, and that is why you might see a skirt or flank steak marinade recipe telling you to soak the steak for 24 hours. That would destroy the texture of a New York strip completely, so do not be tempted to seek a more intense flavor by doing that, because it does not work with tender cuts of meat.
The following steak marinade recipe blends Italian seasoning, basil, garlic and more for a delicious Italian inspired flavor and Worcestershire sauce to bring out the wonderfully rich steak taste. If you are a fan of New York strip, then why not make this flavorful marinade to add to the meaty flavor? You are sure to find the finished steak delicious.
