I recently went on a wonderful girl’s weekend with some friends from college, and one of the gals whipped us up these incredible, 3 ingredient Dijon-Brown Sugar Marinated Steaks for dinner one night. This recipe could not be simpler. Slather steaks in a simple three-ingredient marinade then grill to juicy perfection. You will devour this savory-sweet steak!
Start by placing 1lb steak in a shallow dish. My friend grilled us up some tip steaks, though these photos show a flat iron steak. That said, this marinade will work with any cut of steak including strip steaks, ribeyes, etc.
Next add 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 2 Tablespoons dijon mustard, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, and lots of salt and pepper.
Rub the marinade all over the steak then cover and marinate for 1-4 hours. You want a nice, thick coating on the outside of the steak.
When it’s time to eat, pull the steak out of the fridge then let it sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes to remove the chill. Meanwhile, preheat the grill over high heat. Turn the heat down to medium-high then cook to your preferred level of doneness.
Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing to lock in the juices, then slice and serve!
This will absolutely be a go-to seasoning for grilled steaks from now on. The savory flavor of the mustard paired with the caramelized sweetness from the brown sugar is incredible!
Plus I always have the ingredients on hand. Hope you enjoy!
