PRIZE WINNING MARINADE FOR BEEF
I combined my sister-in-law's marinade recipe with my friend's barbecue cooking method. I then submitted this recipe into to a radio station as part of a contest and I ended up winning the grand prize of a Jenairre stove! It's so versatile that it works both with cheap cuts of beef and expensive too. I won't cook beef roast any other way. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Using a food processor, crush peppercorns until fine.
- Add garlic to processor and crush.
- Add soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice and blend.
- Pour mixture into giant zip lock freezer bag and add the meat to be marinated (even the cheapest cuts of beef will taste like prime rib!).
- Seal bag.
- Refrigerate for 48 hours (turn bag every time you open the fridge door).
- Reserve the marinade for later use.
- Barbecue the meat as you would normally however, I prefer to cook the meat very VERY slowly using an indirect cooking method--only ONE side of the barbecue is lit and turned down to low.
- The meat is placed on the one side of the barbecue which is off, over a pan of water, which sits on the barbecue rocks.
- Note: Total barbecue time depends on the size of beef roast.
- Relax while your dinner cooks.
- Put marinade on the stove and bring to a boil.
- Add just enough marinade to some sour cream, to make a sauce to drizzle over the cooked meat.
- Sit back and enjoy the compliments.
FANTASTIC KOREAN-STYLE MARINADE FOR BEEF PORK OR CHICKEN
There should be enough marinade for about 2-1/2 pounds of beef or chicken you may double the marinade ingredients but keep the fresh garlic and green onion at the same amount --- the meat needs to come down to almost room temperature before grilling so plan well ahead, also there is a marinating time of 8-24 hours, you may omit the cayenne completely if desired or adjust to suit heat level.

Steps:
- Make the onion marinade:
- Combine the onion, garlic, 1/4 cup of the oil, and water in a blender; blend until smooth. Put the skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag or baking dish and pour in the onion mixture, coating both sides. Cover or wrap the meat well so the onion scent does not permeate your refrigerator; chill for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- To make the skirt steak:
- Prepare a grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and season both sides with the kosher salt and pepper. Transfer the meat to the grill and let cook until one side is well seared, 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more, for rare to medium-rare. At this point, remove the steak from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes to allow the carryover heat to give it a more even doneness. Finally, return the steak to the grill and cook for 1 minute more per side (this guarantees this thin cut of steak will be served hot). (Add another minute of cooking on the second side for medium doneness.) Remove the skirt steak from the grill and let rest 1 to 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Cut each steak with the grain into three sections. Turn each piece to slice against the grain at a 45-degree angle. Slice into 1/4-inch pieces on a slight bias against the grain. You should get about 5 slices per cut piece, about 15 slices total. Transfer the meat to a warmed plate. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and smoked sea salt and serve with the chimichurri.

Tips for Marinating Beef:
- Use an acidic ingredient: Acidic ingredients like vinegar, lemon juice, or yogurt help tenderize the beef and enhance its flavor.
- Use a flavorful liquid: Beef broth, red wine, or beer add extra flavor to the marinade.
- Use herbs and spices: Herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano and spices like garlic, pepper, or paprika add complexity.
- Marinate for the right amount of time: Marinating for too long can make the beef tough. For thin cuts, marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours. For thicker cuts, marinate for up to 24 hours.
- Let the beef come to room temperature before cooking: This helps the beef cook evenly.
- Discard the marinade: Do not reuse the marinade as it may contain harmful bacteria.
