This is so fantastic! I marinated a thick juicy steak with it and it's absolutely great. Followed your instructions to a T. I am now anxious to try marinating some veggies in this too! Red and green pepper, onion and zucchini. Thanks Michelle for a great marinade!

Oh Michelle!I used this as a sauce instead of a marinade and it was scrumptious!I baked some chicken legs for about 40 min and added this sauce to it and let it cook for another 15 min and oh wee!I was using the chicken to stuff pot stickers and I barley had enough 'cause I kept eatin' it as I stuffed!I will try this as a marinade next time, maybe on some pork steaks!I only made 1 change and that was to add some crushed red peppers!Michelle I would like to compliment you on all your wonderful recipes.You are definatly a 5 star chef!!I am lucky to have picked a chef with such wonderful recipes as you!!:)

This was great. I used it with chicken breasts, and the flavor was wonderful! Thanks!

This made a very tasty marinade for our country style boneless pork. Only marinated them for about an hour because I forgot to do them in the morning. Poked some holes in the meat with a fork and used my vacuum sealer marinating container and they tasted great. Will definitely make these again and marinate them overnight.

Even though this recipe already had several five star ratings, I didn't think another on would hurt.I made this on 6/4/08 to give the steaks enough time to absorb the marinade. And I pan-fried the steaks on 6/5/08. And I have to tell you, this marinade made my steak the best I've ever made at home.It was so full of flavor,and so juicy.This "WILL" be made again.Thank you so much for posting and, "Keep Smiling :)"
