Notes
The longer you marinate the steak the darker the color it will be. I like to leave it marinating in a ziplock bag because it’s an easier way to make sure it's covered with the marinated on all its sides.
To cook it to your liking it will all depend on the thickness of your steak, but generally, these are the timings:
Rare: 1 ½ min per side
Medium rare: 2 mins per side
Medium 2 ¼ ins per side
Well done: 4-5 mins per side
