    Final Comments


    Servings: Serves 4-6

    Garnish with lime wedges, cilantro sprigs and jalapenos if desired.

    This marinade is excellent for basting grilled beef back ribs, marinating beef brisket, or for braising beef short ribs.

    Shoulder steaks or flank steak may be substituted for the top sirloin or top round steaks.
