This zesty steak marinade brings out the best in your steaks, infusing them with bold flavors and a hint of spice.
In a mixing bowl, combine the hot sauce, red onion, brown sugar, garlic, ketchup, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, and horseradish.
Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves and the flavors meld together.
Transfer the marinade to a resealable plastic bag.
Using a bag makes it easy to coat the steaks evenly and reduces cleanup.
Add the steaks to the bag, seal it, and massage the marinade into the meat.
Ensure the steaks are fully coated with the marinade for maximum flavor.
Refrigerate the bag for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, turning occasionally.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
Let the steaks come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
Grill or broil the steaks to your desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steaks are cooked to your preferred level.
Serve the steaks hot, optionally with a side of simmered marinade as a sauce.
Simmer the reserved marinade to create a flavorful sauce for serving.
