- Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup soy sauce, ⅓ cup lemon juice, ½ cup olive oil, ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

- Refrigerate: Place the bag with the steaks and marinade into the refrigerator. Allow the steaks to marinate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight to ensure maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Cook your steak: Remove the steaks from the marinade and cook using your preferred method such as grilling, pan-searing, or broiling to your desired doneness. Discard any remaining marinade that has been in contact with raw meat.
- Serve and enjoy: Let the steaks rest a few minutes after cooking, then slice and serve for a juicy and flavorful meal.
