- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, black pepper, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk until well combined.
- Marinate the Steak:
- Place your steak (such as ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak) in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the Arabic steak juice marinade over the steak, making sure it’s evenly coated. Massage the marinade into the meat.
- Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the meat to absorb the marinade.
- Cook the Steak:
- When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill, broil, or pan-sear the steak according to your preference and desired doneness.
- Rest and Serve:
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steak against the grain and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the Arabic steak with your favorite sides such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad. Drizzle any remaining juices from the resting steak over the slices before serving.
