The name says it all! This is a simple and versatile recipe for the best low-FODMAP Marinade. Use it on steaks or chops, broiled veggies or fish!
I love to use marinades, they infuse flavor and moisture into my favorite cuts of beef. You can opt to grill your marinated meat, sear it on a cast iron skillet, or broil it in the oven. It is DELISH all ways.

Really is the best
Made this last weekend for a grill out. It was probably the most tender steak I’ve ever had. Amazing flavor. This one’s a keeper!
Brandon,
So glad to hear you enjoyed the marinade! Have a great day!!
BBQ-esque
A good meat marinade if you’re a fan of barbecue sauce flavors. Would probably do well with pork chops. Not exactly my cup of tea when it comes to steak seasoning, but definitely good flavors. And very simple, which is a plus. All stuff I already had on hand. My husband liked it, but I wasn’t as big a fan as I don’t really like BBQ sauce.
Hi Monica,
Thanks for your comment. We felt the flavor of this marinade was very different from a barbecue sauce (we have a low-FODMAP BBQ sauce recipe). However, we understand that different flavors appeal to different people! Have a great day.
Nope nope nope
I wasted 3 lbs of steak on this marinade and no one can eat it, it tastes awful… it’s such a clash in flavors, it tastes kind of like bbq sauce, kind of like sour milk, kind of like a dessert almost? Really disgusting, and embarrassing that I tried this recipe out on guests
Very sorry you didn’t enjoy the marinade.
The Best
Hi! I made the Best Steak Marinade Ever. It was delicious, so thank you for that!
However, the purpose of this message is the following – right in the recipe title, it claims to be vegan, yet it is not… Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it. I am wondering if you can correct that. Thanks!
Hi Patty,
Thank you for your comment. Actually, it is possible to purchase vegan worchestershire sauce. That is why we suggest checking your brand in the ingredient list. We appreciate you calling attention to that important detail!
Tofu or tempeh?
Do you think this would be suitable for tofu or tempeh? Thanks.
Hi David,
Great question!
We think this could be awesome! Just make sure to press your tofu first to drain the water, and use extra firm tofu to be lower in FODMAPs.
Let us know if you try it 🙂
