Method

To make each marinade, simply put the ingredients together in a jam jar, screw the lid on tight and shake briskly until combined. Store marinade in the fridge until you are ready to pour over your steak. Cover and leave to marinate for 30mins at room temperature, or up to 24hrs in the fridge. So simple!
