The Perfect Marinade for the Grill

I’m always leery when someone says “This is the best in the world!”.  We all have different tastes, so of course what you like might not be what I like. This perfect marinade for the grill is the exception. It is really great, and it can be modified to suit your tastes. Like a bit of heat? Add more cayenne.  Like more savory? Add more spices and herbs. Like sweet? Add a tablespoon of honey. Me, I made the recipe just like it’s written before and absolutely loved my steak. Great flavor, moist and tender. Perfect.

Steak Perfection

This is a very versatile marinade that is perfect on all meats. It’s called the perfect marinade for the grill for a reason. My first time using it I had it on a thin T-bone steak that I quickly grilled to 145 F and then let rest for 10 minutes. It was perfectly tender and flavorful! There’s no meat you can’t use this one and end up with a delicious result.
