LauraAnne's Note:

Amount of each ingredient varies according to your personal taste. This is an extremely lenient steak marinade recipe. Requires some work and time, but in the end is well worth it.

This is a great marinade. I made it to go with Portobello mushrooms to grill and they turned out delish!! Thanks for sharing.

Really great tasting marinade for steak. I admit, I just added all the ingredients to the ziploc bag and let the steaks sit in the fridge for over a day. I used the lemon, 5 cloves of garlic, 2 sprigs of rosemary, 2 tbsp bourbon, 2 tsp worcestershire sauce and 3 tbsp teriyaki. We had 2 really large steaks and served with roasted potatoes and corn. Fantastic dinner! Made for the Spring 2009 PAC!

vewry tener and jicy. I did grill it. Made and almost didn`t get to taste it! Made 2 fat steaks and my son and DH wanted the whole steaks for themselves. I had to have my DH stop eating so I could get the photo. It was yummy I did sneak a bite. I skipped the salt, 1 teaspoon of worcestershire and teriyaki sauces. Trying to keep the sodium down. I used lime. Thanks. Made for PAC http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=296583&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
