Black Diamond steak is a type of pre-marinated steak sold by Tyson. This recipe re-creates those deep, dark, savory flavors with plenty of soy sauce, Worcestershire, balsamic vinegar, and onion and garlic powders.

Why It Works

  • Marinating is mostly a surface treatment, so even an hour is enough to get plenty of flavor onto the meat.
  • Salty ingredients in the marinade help the beef retain moisture during grilling.
