Make The Juiciest Marinated Steak Using A Bottle Of Salad Dressing

By ALLISON LINDSEY
For the juiciest steak, your marinade needs three key ingredients — acid, fat, and seasonings. Fortunately, you can source all three items from a single bottle of salad dressing.
Acid, fat, and seasonings help tenderize the gristly parts of a steak while simultaneously preserving its moisture and imbuing it with flavor from the inside out.
Italian dressing is made with red wine vinaigrette, lemon juice, olive oil, spices, and herbs, so it already packs acidic citruses, fat from the oil, and flavor from the aromatics.
The bright flavor of the dressing also complements the meaty machismo of the steak, infusing it with a layer of garden freshness that highlights the bold, umami taste of beef.
