Note
Remove the meat from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature for even cooking.
Always discard the used marinade after contact with raw meat. Do not reuse it as a sauce unless you boil it vigorously for at least 5 minutes to kill bacteria.
This marinade works exceptionally well with tougher cuts of beef or lean poultry, helping to tenderize while adding moisture.
