Ingredients in a marinade can be varied, but it is important to use wine, vinegar, lemon juice, or some acidic liquid to break down the connective tissues. This process will make the steak more tender. Remaining marinade ingredients add flavor. Use a good-quality olive oil or walnut oil; add good-quality wine or vinegar and a combination of fresh and dried herbs, seasonings, garlic and soy sauce to make a flavorful marinade. Ingredients:
1 cup olive oil |
1/2 cup sherry wine vinegar or 1/2 cup red wine or 1/2 cup white wine or 1/4 cup lemon juice |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 cloves garlic, sliced |
pepper, coarsely ground |
red peppercorns (optional) |
1 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in glass screw-top jar; shake vigorously.
