Red Wine And Garlic Steak Marinade Recipe
This pungent sauce is going to be your go-to condiment
Red wine is the perfect secret ingredient for making a marinade: The acidity helps tenderize the meat, and the depth imparts complex flavors on the meat. By infusing the wine with garlic, herbs and spices, we've created the ultimate marinade for any meal.

This marinade adds a punch of flavor and a hint of spice and sweetness, perfect for enhancing meat even before you cook it. While this recipe is also great for coq au vin-style chicken, we really love it as a marinade for steak. Simply place the meat in a sealable plastic bag with the marinade and let it sit overnight. The next day, dry the steaks well and cook as desired.
