While it may be tempting to grab the store-bought marinade, I highly recommend making your own steak marinade from scratch.

What are coco aminos?
The marinade is perfect for a variety of steaks – even those like the rib eye that is already tender. Our Jack Daniels and Coca-Cola marinade will penetrate your steak as it sits for several hours to make it even more tender, juicy, and flavorful than before. Leave behind your go-to steak marinade and break the rules with some Jack Daniels steak!
Worchestershire Sauce - A classic steak marinade staple. Olive Oil - A healthy fat that is keto friendly. Garlic - Minced garlic adds an extra layer of flavor to the marinade. Italian Seasoning - Dried herbs that usually contain basil, thyme, oregano, and rosemary. Simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, and whisk together.

Less tender cuts of steak will require more time to marinate, while more tender cuts only need to be marinaded for a short period of time.
