This particular marinade has been in my family for as long back as I can recall. It's simple, easy and lends itself well to tougher cuts of meat. This time I used ribeye steaks (because that's what I had on hand) but I like this best used on a cheap beef roast and grilled over charcoal. Yummy. Makes the meat butter tender and so very flavorful.
This is everything you'll need. Your meat packed up in ziplock bags, a generous helping of onions cut into rings, a few cloves of fresh garlic(smashed), some red wine vinegar, soy sauce and canola oil.
Layer the onions and smashed garlic in the bag with your meat... add in the liquids (recipe below) and seal the bag. Store this in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, but overnight is even better. If you are really getting into the spirit of this thing, you'll turn the bags over every couple of hours to marinate evenly.
Once your meat is marinated the length you like... grill it up! And don't forget to save the marinate to baste the meat as you cook. And remember all those onions? Those are divine sauteed and served along side your meat. Delish! I promise!
Meat Marinade
--------------
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup canola oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 large onions
1 head garlic
This is what I used to marinate 8 decent sized ribeyes, you can increase or decrease as needed.
Yum! I served the steaks with mushrooms, the onions from the marinade and rice. Everyone loved it! Simple, easy and tasty.
