Simple, tasty steak marinade

I just have to say I love BBQ season.  Sure you can grill all year round, but there is just something about grilling in the sunshine that makes it so much better.  I'm happy its here.  I don't recall the last time I cooked something on the stove or in the oven.

I snagged a couple of steaks over the weekend.  Now, I knew I wanted to grill them but I also wanted them to be more than just a couple of steaks on the grill.  The solution: marinade them.   I whipped together a bowl of awesome delicousness:

(no exact measurements here, folks)
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
quirt of prepared mustard
fresh cracked pepper
worscestershire sauce
soy sauce

Toss your steaks into a zip lock baggie and pour this liquid delicious on top.  Let sit in freeze for a few hours (overnight would be even better).  Remove from fridge about an hour before grilling to allow them to come to room temperature (just throwing them straight on to the grill will make 'em tough: cold steak + hot grill = boot leather).

And once again I'm slacking in the photo department.  Sorry gang.  I'll try to remember for next time.
