Fajita Marinade

Submitted by Catnip46

"To tenderize, a marinade must contain an acidic ingredient such as lemon juice, wine, vinegar or yogurt; the acid penetrates meat fibers to help tenderize them."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 1/4 cup

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon garlic salt

directions

1. Mix ingredients.
2. Pour marinade in a heavy-duty seal-able plastic bag or a glass dish. Select dishes in which the foods will fit snugly but lie flat.

This was so good! I sliced the steak before I marinated it and I only put it in the marinade for about half an hour, then flipped it for another half hour. I also used the last of the lime juice we had on hand and a splash of lemon juice. We also did not have any Tabasco so I used our Texas Pete hot sauce. Man, this was wonderful! I cannot believe how well the marinade soaked into the meat in that little bit of time. And the acid definitely broke it down and made it tender. The entire family raved over these fajitas! I will be using this again and again!
