  • Place your choice of skirt steak, chicken, or skewers into the bowl or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the meat.
  • Cover and marinate the meat in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, not more than 3 hours.
  • Cook over flame for best flavors, grill, pan-sear, or bake until done. Brush extra marinade on as a glaze during the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor.

Notes

This recipe is for about a pound of meat. Multiply for a larger volume of meat.
Tenderize Your Meat (Velvetizing): For skirt steak or tougher cuts, try velvetizing the meat before grilling for extra tenderness.
Glaze It: Reserve a little marinade before adding raw meat and brush it over during the last few minutes of grilling.
Don’t Over-Marinate Fish: 15 minutes is enough for fish to avoid breaking down. It's better to use to glaze or stir fry with fish. 
Don't marinate meats for more than a few hours.
