1. Mix up your marinade. Combine the garlic, salt, red wine, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and honey in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly until they form a thick liquid. Mince the garlic cloves by hand with a sharp knife, or use a blender or food processor to grind them into a paste. If you want to save a little time, throw the liquid ingredients and salt into the blender with the garlic and pulse the mixture until it takes on the desired consistency. Feel free to substitute any of your own favorite marinade recipes. For an average-sized cut of meat, you'll need to make about 1 cup (240 ml).
2. Perforate the steak with a meat fork or the tip of a sharp knife. Use the utensil to poke a series of small holes in the thickest part of the meat. Piercing the steak will allow more of the marinade to soak in, flavoring and tenderizing it from the inside out. This step is especially useful if you don’t have a lot of time to marinate your meat. Poking holes in your steak prior to adding the marinade isn’t strictly necessary. The acidic vinegar will gradually break down the tough meat even if it’s left intact.
3. Cover the steak with the marinade. Place the steak at the bottom of a large mixing bowl or inside a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Then, pour in the marinade slowly, making sure it touches every part of the meat. When you’re done, seal the bag or stretch a sheet of plastic wrap over the top of the mixing bowl to cover it. For best results, the steak should be completely submerged. If it's not, try putting it in a slightly smaller container, or throw together enough marinade to make up the difference.
4. Allow the steak to marinate in the refrigerator for 4-24 hours. Ideally, it should be left overnight. If that’s not possible, 4-5 hours should be enough time to infuse the meat with mouthwatering flavor, especially if you perforated it. The longer you let it sit, the more flavor it will absorb. If you’re marinating your meat in a plastic bag, flip the bag over every few hours to ensure that the marinade gets distributed evenly. Avoid letting the steak marinate for more than 24 hours, as this could cause it to become tough or give the outside an unappetizing mushy texture.
