I have to share with you one of my all time favorite meat marinades that I have been using for years. It was given to me many many years ago by a friend of the family and it is delicious.
This marinade works on any kind of meat, but I prefer it on beef. Tonight I used it on London Broil. Normally I will marinade my meat overnight which I think works best to really get the flavor in, but I did it for 5 hours and it was still A-Mazing. I also took a meat tenderizer and pounded it a bit to tenderize it and make some holes for the marinade to makes it s way in.
Here is the recipe for the Marinade:
1 Cup Soy Sauce
1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
1 tsp Ginger Powder
2 Cloves Garlic Minced (I use the minced garlic in a jar)
2 Generous spoonfuls of Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1/2 Minced Onion

Mix all of that together and pour it on top of the meat you want to marinade. That is it !!! Super EASY and sooo good, Trust!!
If you give this marinade a try I would love to know what you think so leave a comment below.
