Spicy Brown Sugar Steak Marinade Recipe – a simple hot sauce & brown sugar marinade that is totally amazing! A little sweet, a little spicy, and a whole lotta YUM! Great on any cut of steak! Frank’s hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, & brown sugar. The BEST! Can cook on the grill or in a skillet on the stovetop. This is the most flavorful steak I've ever eaten. Leftovers are great in a quesadilla, on top of a salad, or in a sandwich wrap!
Whisk together first 7 ingredients. Pour over meat and refrigerate for 4 hours, up to overnight.
Remove meat from marinade and grill until meat has reached desired temperature.
Skirt steak cooks really quick. It only takes about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Notes:
I used Frank's Hot Sauce. You can use regular hot sauce or the wing sauce. I have also used Crystal's Hot Sauce.We always marinate our skirt steak the night before cooking it. Our philosophy is the longer the better.Even though this is marinated in a cup of hot sauce, it doesn't have a lot of heat. It tasted delicious. The sweetness from the brown sugar balances out the heat in the hot sauce. You taste more of the hot sauce flavor than the heat.If you are worried about the heat, feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce to your personal preference.We love to use skirt steak with this marinade, but it would also be great on ribeyes, flank steak, or sirloin steak.To cook the steak on the stove heat some oil in a skillet until hot. Cook the steak for 2 to 4 minutes per side.We prefer to cook this steak to Medium-Rare or 130ºF internal temperature.Let the steak rest about 5 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin slices.
