A really great, great taste and marinade for steak. I downsized this marinade to half because I only had one steak for my DH. Easy enough to reduce measurements, and loved the ground red pepper in this. The peanut butter really gave this a great smoothness and I loved the lime juice addition too. Just wonderful, I used a rib steak, so 2 hours was more then enough for the marinade, and I just grilled it outside but not on a skewer since it was thick. Thanks Engrossed! Made for *ZWT4* June 2008.

First off I cut this recipe in half, & then In this marinade I used a rounded 1/8 teaspoon of the ground red pepper but otherwise kept the amounts (actually 1/2 the amounts indicated) for the other ingredients! Marinated the meat almost 4 hours then used the broiler to complete this dish! Went nicely with some brown rice, as well as with a side of asparagus & one of fried cauliflower! Thanks for your great recipe! [Made & reviewed while touring Africa during the Zaar World Tour 4]
