#### Ingredients:
- 500 ml (2 cups) red wine (preferably Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt to taste
#### Equipment:

#### Instructions:
##### Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by finely chopping one onion and mincing three cloves of garlic. Set these aside as you will need them later.
##### Step 2: Combine Base Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, pour in 500 ml (2 cups) of your chosen red wine. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the bowl.
Next, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, and 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard. These ingredients will provide depth and richness to the marinade.
Mix in 1 teaspoon each of black pepper, dried rosemary, and dried thyme. Adjust seasoning with salt as needed for your taste preference.
##### Step 5: Marinate the Steak
Place a large resealable container or ziplock bag into the refrigerator. Transfer all the ingredients from the mixing bowl to the container or bag, ensuring they are well mixed. Add any remaining ingredients and seal tightly.
##### Step 6: Marinate for Flavor
Allow your steak to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate deeply into the meat.
##### Step 7: Cook Your Steak
Preheat your grill or pan. Remove the steak from the marinade and let it rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature before cooking. Discard any leftover marinade to prevent cross-contamination during cooking.
##### Step 8: Enjoy Your Meal
Grill or pan-fry the steak until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Serve immediately with a side of mashed potatoes, vegetables, or a simple salad for a delicious and complete meal.
#### Tips:
