This marinade was pretty good. I cut it down to 10 servings as I wasn't sure of how much meat 20 would marinate. I let the meat (top sirloin) sit for about 24 hours and it was tender and juicy. I did tenderize it prior though. I subbed honey dijon as it was what I had and used onion powder instead of fresh onions since my 5 year old will only eat them if he doesn't know they are there. Overall good but seems like too much oil...

No complaints here. I marinade overnight and grill the steaks. They were delicious.

I tried this recipe with eye of round steaks since this recipe was labled as "a great marinade for any cut of beef". While I know eye of round is a lean cut, I thought the 8 hour marinade along with the many "forks" I did would help tenderize it. After grilling the meat and found out how tough it was, I braised the meat for an hour in about a cup of water. I also found the taste somewhat bland, so I added about 2 tablespoons of steak seasoning to the liquid the meat cooked in. This might be great for a tender cut, but it does not help any lean cut you have.

I would probably give this 5 stars but after marinading them for hours my dad took them and grilled them on the BBQ....so they were too charred and BBQ tasting to even taste the marinade...I will try this again and broil them though, bc it seems like an awesome marinade!

VERY good! I didn't use the onion, and it was still very good! I'll make it again.

This is a great marinade and will use again... I used only half of the recipe since it made so much but still turned out great!

One of the BEST marinades I’ve tried! I used red wine, and a splash of white distilled vinegar because I didn’t have actual red wine vinegar. Just before taking the steaks off the grille I put the onions in a pan with the remaining marinade over high heat to caramelize them…the marinade and onions turned out fantastic!

I was very skeptical of the vinegar since we don't really care for it in anything normally but I am glad I took the risk. This marinade made an already tender ribeye melt in our mouths.

This is now our go-to recipe for steaks. My husband isn't a fan of steak marinades-a purist I guess. Anyway, he loved this marinade! We will use this recipe again and again!

Delicious marinade. I didn't have lemon juice, but the marinade was still one of the best I have tried. We marinated rib eye steak and vegetables. My husband wished we had extra marinade to use as a sauce.

This was really good. I used half vegetable oil and half olive oil. I also added 4 tablespoons of brown sugar and about 1/4 cup of bbq sauce, and used only 1/8 cup lemon juice. I let it marinate over night in a big ziploc bag. Everyone in the family enjoyed it.

This recipe is awesome! This is one of the best steak marinades that I have ever had and my friends agree! I have no complaints about it whatsoever. I like to take the leftover marinade and boil it on high for a few minutes (to kill all of the bacteria and to soften the onions) then I use some of it to baste the steaks while they are on the grill and then I serve the rest of it with the steak. Excellent!

Exceptional. I used low-sodium soy sauce and ended up salting the steaks slightly near the end of grilling. They were perfect. I marinaded the steaks overnight and the extra marinading time is definitely worth the advance planning. Change it if you must to put your own mark on it, but there is no need. It's just right. Everybody at my house loved it.

I got a little worried reading comments about "too sour" or "too much soy sauce", so I added 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Whether that made a difference or not, I don't know. I also used light soy sauce, so it wasn't salty. The end result was superb.
