Notes

For the best flavor, allow the steak to marinate longer than 30 minutes—up to 4 hours if you have the time! Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions wrapped in plastic wrap followed by foil for up to three months.
