It is especially delicious when you BBQ the steak up, adding in that charcoal BBQ taste that we all know and love

Marinating your steak is good for many reasons and a steak marinade doesn't have to be a complex thing. You usually will want an oil and then mix it with other sauces ( like soy or Worcestershire sauce) to flavour it. There are many good reasons to marinate your steak.

1. It helps flavour your steaks without you having to slather it in sugar laden BBQ sauce.
2. It's lighter and healthier than most of the BBQ sauces out there.
3. It uses olive oil which is good for you.
4. Marinating steaks helps the meat fibers break down slightly which results in a more tender steak. Watch out for marinating too long however that can make your steaks go tough!
