Simple Southwest Marinade Food

SIMPLE SOUTHWEST MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in small bowl. Place beef steak(s) and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak(s) to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes to 2 hours for tender steaks; 6 hours or as long as overnight for less tender steaks, turning occasionally.
• Remove steak(s) from bag; discard marinade. Place steak(s) on grid over medium, ash-covered coals or over medium heat on preheated gas grill. Grill according to the chart for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Visit our Marinades page for more information.

SOUTH-WEST MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix everything in a bowl or a ziplock bag. Put the meat in it for at least 1 hour. But it's really yummy overnight. And I even let some pork tenderloin in it for 48 hours. I like to cut the pork tenderloin in slices lenghwise. That way it absorbs more marinade.
• Cook on the bbq but it can also be cook in oven or in a skillet. You can brush with the remaining marinade while it cooks.

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix together marinade ingredients.
• Coat chicken in marinade.
• (Optional: allow chicken to marinate 1-2 hours. On evenings when I don't have time to let it sit, though, it still tastes good when it goes straight to the grill!).
• Grill chicken.
