Sensational Meat Marinade

evelyn/athens's Note:

I originally had this marinade posted with my Savoury Chicken #60844, but it is so good with all sorts of meats that I decided to repost on its own. Very easy to make up. Sensational flavour. You'll love it as much as I do.

• 1 teaspoon oregano

Directions:

1. Mix marinade ingredients in large bowl.

3. Cover and refrigerate 2-4 hours.
4. If baking in the marinade, once meat is done, you can boil down the marinade till thick and syrupy and use as a sauce.

Tasty marinade but it made way more than I needed for my roast so I'm saving the rest for the next one. I increased the garlic & ginger abit. Also added abit of teriyaki sauce I had on hand. We used it on a pork roast & it came out flavourful, thanks for sharing.

Great marinade and even better sauce when reduced. I used Madeira wine and forgot to add the oregano, but my hugely picky family really liked it. So thumbs up!!!

I was feeling very motivated the other morning before I got ready for work. I had a steak defrosting in the fridge overnight so I thought that I would whip this up in the morning and let it marinade all day. WOW ! So glad I tried this method.....the steak was amazing that night...in fact it was so big that I had enough left over for a sandwich last night and I think that it was even better the following day! I will definitely put this in my marinade keeper file ! Thanks so much for a winner!
