Prepare the Marinade Mixture:

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dried basil, garlic powder, dried parsley flakes, ground white pepper, dried minced garlic (if using), and hot pepper sauce (if using). Whisk the mixture until well combined.

Marinating the Steak:

Place your steak (of choice) in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish that's big enough to hold the steak and the marinade.

Pour the marinade mixture over the steak, making sure it's evenly coated. If you're using a plastic bag, seal it tightly, removing as much air as possible. If using a dish, cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Place the bag or dish in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. Turn the steak occasionally to ensure even marinating.

Grilling or Cooking the Steak:

When you're ready to cook, preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.

Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.

Grill or cook the steak according to your preference for doneness, usually about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak.

Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serve and Enjoy:

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips for maximum tenderness.

Serve your marinated steak with your favorite side dishes and enjoy the flavorful, tender result!

Notes:

You can customize this marinade by adding other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika, to suit your taste.

This marinade works well with various cuts of steak, such as ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak.

Remember to discard any leftover marinade that has come into contact with raw meat to avoid cross-contamination.
