Preparation

Step 1

Directions

In a large bowl combine all ingredients except the meat; mix/whisk until very well combined.

You may now transfer the marinade to a large resealable plastic bag if desired or leave in a large bowl.

Pierce the meat all over with a fork.

Add the meat to the marinade then turn to coat.

Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Remove meat and discard the marinade.

Leave the beef or the pork sit out on the counter and bring almost room temperature, this will relax the meat fibers and make for a more tender juicy steak or cut of beef or pork (this is a very important step!).

Grill or oven-broil to desired doneness.

Makes enough marinade for 2 lb. of meat.
