Description

Elevate your steak with this flavorful garlic scapes marinade, perfect for barbecues or cozy dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup garlic scapes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Steak of your choice

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients. Chop the garlic scapes into small pieces for better flavor infusion.
  2. Combine the chopped garlic scapes, olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a bowl. Whisk together until well blended. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
  3. Place your steak into a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 120 minutes; for optimum flavor, allow it to marinate overnight.
  4. Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade (discard any leftover marinade) and grill or pan-sear it to your desired doneness, typically around 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.

Notes

For a tangier flavor, add more balsamic vinegar or a splash of lemon juice. Experiment with different oils for unique twists.
