What’s better than a salt n’ pepper grilled steak? A Sake-Marinated Grilled Steak! The complex flavors contributed by this Sake Marinade combine to create a steak experience that you’ll want to repeat.

Sake-flavored marinades often go hand-in-hand with soy and sugar, however in this lightened-up version I’ve removed both of these offending ingredients.

In place of the soy sauce we are using coconut aminos, and in place of the sugar we are using a touch of liquid stevia. While these might sound like trivial ingredients, removing simple sugar from things like marinades and dressings makes it easier to stay lean, energetic and healthy for the long haul.

What you need

Servings: 4

½ cup sake

6 tablespoons coconut aminos

½ teaspoon Liquid Stevia

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

4 (6 oz.) boneless rib-eye steak (or similar cut)

Instructions

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a large ziplock bag. Place in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
2. Bring the steaks to room temperature. Grill for about 6 minutes per side. Remove from heat and tent with foil for 5 minutes. Slice and enjoy!
