Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt, dried rosemary, and dried thyme. Whisk together until well blended.

Notes
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or some fresh herbs to the marinade.
Make sure to let the steaks rest after grilling to ensure they stay juicy.
