    MARINADE FOR STEAK OR CHICKEN
    =============================

    Ingredients:
    ------------
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1/2 cup lime juice
    Add garlic, oregano, pepper to taste

    Instructions:
    -------------
    Mix together and pour over meat.
    Marinate for at least 2 hours (overnight is better).

    I prick the meat with a fork to allow the marinade to seep through.
    Also, I turn the meat over several times during marinating. Then I
    cook it on my gas grill. It turns out so tender and juicy.

    MARINADE TO TENDERIZE STEAK
    ===========================

    Ingredients:
    ------------
    seasoning salt,
    lemon pepper,
    garlic powder
    ca. 1/2 bottle of Italian dressing

    Instructions:
    -------------
    I usually use sirloin steak about 1 - 1 1/2 inch thick and put seasoning
    salt, lemon pepper, garlic powder and then put about 1/2 bottle of
    Italian dressing in a gallon Ziplock bag and seal for about 4 hours or
    overnite. The Italian dressing marinates the meat and this is the most
    tender meat we have ever eaten.

    MARINADE TO TENDERIZE STEAK
    ===========================

    When BBQ steak I have found that using beer (any kind!) is an excellent
    tenderizer and flavoring agent.

    Ingredients:
    ------------
    crushed garlic
    pepper, Tony's Cajun spice
    oil
    beer

    Instructions:
    -------------
    1) Cover steaks with crushed garlic, pepper, Tony's Cajun spice.

    2) Rub oil on the steaks.

    3) Let them sit for 2 hours.

    4) Heat up the BBQ (max).

    5) Throw the steaks on (they will flame like crazy its OK).

    6) After 30-60 secs, flip for another 60 sec.

    7) Hit them with a spray of beer (be careful you will generate a lot of
    steam which will burn).

    8) Put the cover on the BBQ.

    9) Keep an eye on the meat and flip after a couple of minutes.

    10) Soak again with beer.

    11) Cook until your favorite wellness is complete.

    Keep the BBQ covered it prevents the steaks from drying out.

    MEXICAN SMOKED CHILI MARINADE
    =============================

    Ingredients:
    ------------
    1 cup fresh orange juice
    1/4 cup fresh lime juice
    5 canned chipotle chilies, minced plus 1 Tbl sauce
    4 cloves of garlic, minced (about 4 teaspoons)
    1 tsp freshly grated orange rind
    2 tsp dried oregano
    1 tsp cumin seeds
    2 tblsp wine vinegar (may need more if too thick)
    1/2 tsp each salt and freshly ground pepper (or to taste)

    Instructions:
    -------------
    Combine the orange juice and lime juice in a small saucepan and boil
    until reduced to 1/2 cup.

    Place reduced juice and remaining ingredients in a blender and puree to
    a smooth paste. I strongly recommend that you DO NOT take a whiff of
    this stuff. It is POWERFUL!

    Spread paste on the meat to be marinated.

    Marinate seafood for 2 hours, poultry for 4 to 6 hours, and meat
    overnight, turning once or twice.

    Makes 1 cup, enough to marinade 1.5 to 2 lbs seafood, poultry or meat.
    I used turkey legs (very Mexican) and it was great.

    Note:
    -----
    recommended using canned chipotle chilies which usually
    come canned with tomato paste. You can use dried chilies but you'll
    have to soften them in hot water and use 2 Tbl of tomato paste.

    PORK TENDERLOIN MARINADE
    ========================

    Ingredients:
    ------------
    1/2 cup soy sauce
    1/4 cup salad oil (I use olive oil)
    2 T light corn syrup
    2 t ginger
    1 t mustard
    Add garlic and onion powder to taste.

    Instructions:
    -------------
    Marinate tenderloin in refrigerator and bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes.
    As an option, the tenderloin tastes even better when cooked slowly on
    the grill.
