This is my first review of anything on Food.com. I was exploring to find a new way to flavor some pork tenderloins that were about 1" thick. Found this one under the search. I gotta say, this recipe is sooo easy to do and it works great for those picky eaters! The flavor was fantastic and my wife even cleaned her plate. Thank You so much for sharing this.

Excellent. First made it as is but I also tried it by adding ground peanuts and Sriracha chili sauce to the marinade, scored (defatted) strip loins and marinated them for 12 hours. Cut the steaks into 1/4" strips and threaded them onto skewers a la satay sticks. Grilled over high heat to desired doneness these were heaven. Cook the marinade down and reduce if you want a very nice dipping sauce. Thank you kitten for a keeper

This IS a fantastic marinade! I used it on London Broil and marinated for 24 hrs. It was almost 4 pounds and I didn't need to double the marinade, there was plenty. I added 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce and fresh grated gingerroot to the marinade. I omitted the cayenne and added 1 teaspoon of Sriracha (hot chili sauce ) instead. I can't wait to try this on pork. A very flavorful marinade, thank you!
