Easy Steak Marinades
Spicy Asian Marinated Steak
This Asian marinated steak recipe has a bit of a bite to it, thanks to the wasabi paste and hot sauce used. The garlic, lemon, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce balance the flavors out nicely. You could use a little lime or orange juice instead of some of the lemon juice if you wanted.
You will want to use a good quality cut of steak if you are making this steak marinade recipe because it only needs to marinate for half an hour so this steak marinade will not tenderize a tougher cut of meat. If you like Asian flavors but you are not keen on a very fiery finish to your steak, feel free to halve the amount of wasabi paste and omit the hot sauce. You will get the same flavor but it will be a bit milder.
