Gordon Ramsay’s T-Bone Steak Marinade Ingredients

  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup prepared mustard (or Dijon mustard)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced or smashed
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 T-bone steaks

How To Make Gordon Ramsay’s T-Bone Steak Marinade

  1. Make the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and minced garlic. Season with black pepper.
  2. Marinate the Steak: Place the T-bone steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but longer is better for more flavor. Flip the steaks halfway through the marinating time.
  3. Cook the Steak: When you’re ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Grill, broil, or pan-sear the steaks over high heat to your preferred level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
  4. Rest and Serve: Transfer the cooked steaks to a cutting board and tent them loosely with foil. Let them rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Recipe Tips

  • How to get a perfect sear? Patting the steak completely dry with paper towels after removing it from the marinade is the most crucial step. A dry surface is what allows a deep, flavorful crust to form when it hits the high heat.
  • Why is it important to rest the steak? Resting the steak after cooking is non-negotiable for a juicy result. It allows the juices that were pushed to the center by the heat to relax and redistribute throughout the meat. If you slice it too early, all that flavor will run out onto your cutting board.
  • How long should I marinate the steak? A minimum of 2 hours will give the steak good flavor, but for a truly tender and deeply flavorful result, marinating for 4-6 hours or even overnight is ideal.
  • What kind of mustard should I use? A standard prepared yellow mustard works well, but using a quality Dijon mustard will add an extra layer of sharp, tangy flavor that elevates the marinade.

What To Serve With T-Bone Steak

This bold, flavorful steak is the star of the meal and pairs perfectly with classic steakhouse sides.

  • A loaded baked potato or crispy French fries
  • Creamed spinach or roasted asparagus
  • A simple wedge salad with blue cheese dressing
  • Sautéed mushrooms and onions

How To Store Leftover Steak

  • Refrigerate: Store any leftover sliced steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s fantastic for making steak salads or sandwiches the next day.
