'ALL PURPOSE' MARINADE (ESPECIALLY NICE USED WITH BEEF)
This is a very versatile marinade and is especially nice used with the many different cuts of beef. Used as a basic marinade for meat, it can be so easily adapted to be used with lamb or pork, eg. add chopped fresh mint and perhaps some honey, if using with lamb, or grated fresh ginger if using with Pork.

ONE FOR ALL MARINATED BEEF
I have not tried this beef. I'm posting this for safe keeping. I found this in Taste Of Home Quick Cooking 2005. I use this flavorful marinade not just for beef, but for nearly everything I put on the grill from pork chops to chicken. The quick to mix marinade with garlic and soy sauce relies mainly on orange juice, which is both low in calories and a good tenderizer. Diabetic Exchanges: 3 lean meat and 1 fat.

Grill steak, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for rare, a meat thermometer should read 140; medium should read 160, and well done 170).

Tips:
- Choose the right marinade for your beef: Different marinades are suited for different cuts and types of beef. For example, a marinade with acidic ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice is good for tenderizing tougher cuts of meat, while a marinade with herbs and spices is good for adding flavor to leaner cuts.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your marinade the best flavor. When possible, use fresh herbs, spices, and citrus fruits.
- Let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the beef, the more time the marinade has to penetrate the meat and tenderize it. However, don't marinate the beef for more than 24 hours, or it can become tough.
- Turn the beef occasionally: While the beef is marinating, turn it occasionally so that all sides are exposed to the marinade.
- Discard the marinade after use: Never reuse marinade that has been in contact with raw beef. This can spread harmful bacteria.

Just remember to use fresh ingredients, let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes, and discard the marinade after use.
