Steak Marinades

I believe I've posted my regular steak marinade recipe on this blog previously but tonight I stumbled upon one that is almost exactly like mine, but for the addition of vinegar to it. I'm thinking this would be a good marinade for a cheaper cut of meat because the vinegar would help break it down and make it tender.

3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons onion (chopped)
1 teaspoon ginger powder

Combine and refrigerate for 8-24 hours.


MARINADE NUMBER TWO:

This one is for my husband... A man who loves a rich, deep, dark beer, loves tabasco sauce and loves limes with beer, shrimp, margarita's... this is perfect for Father's Day!


1 bottle of dark beer
2 T garlic, chopped
2 T red onion, diced fine
2 T Worcestershire sauce
4 dashes Tabasco sauce
juice of 2 limes
1/4 c brown sugar, packed
1 T coarse brown mustard (Creole is good)
2 T olive oil
2 t salt


Mix and marinate a nice rib-eye for 4-12 hours. Grill as usual.
