I marinated this for an hour, and in that time, the only flavor that came through was the heat from the chilies. I was a bit disappointed by that. I did have to use ground ginger because the ginger I had in the fridge had gone yucky, which could have been part of the problem.

This is a great blending of flavors. I marinated it for an hour but think next time I'll let it sit much longer to absorb more flavor. I used the steak in a stirfry with peppers, onions and broccoli. Thanks.

I loved the taste of this marinade! I used lemon juice as a substitute for lime. I think it would also be great with chicken.

Well I thought I had brown sugar on hand but didn't so I substituted honey. Omitted the sesame oil (again thought I had it at home but didn't) but added some toasted sesame seeds to the finished product. Absolutely loved it. had just the right amount of heat to sweet for our tastes. DW said it was "restaurant quality". Thanks for the posting.

I love this recipe! It takes great! The only thing i changed about it is the brown sugar. I didn't put that in because I don't really like the sweeter taste for dinner, but it still turned out wonderfully. :)
