How Long Can I Marinate Steaks?

You can marinate steaks up to overnight, but if you plan to do so, use half the amount of lemon juice. Lemon can cook protein if left to marinate for too long. I recommend marinating steaks for up to 3 hours for best results.

What to Serve with Steak Marinade

Steaks can be served with a variety of side dishes like salads, roasted potatoes, freshly steamed rice, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, etc. the possibilities are endless!
