Steak Marinade

This marinade is good with any type of steak. I also use it on stew meat when I'm making shish kabobs.

Ingredients

1/2 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 tablespoon each: salt, pepper and garlic powder
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup hoisin sauce*
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes*

I put all of my ingredients in the large freezer bag that I will be marinating my meat in. It's easier to mix and less to clean up! Combine all ingredients in the bag and mix well. Add meat. Squeeze the air out of the bag, seal and work the meat around in the bag. Place bag in a baking dish and put in the refrigerator. I do this just in case the bag has hole, it won't leak all over the frig. The longer you let it marinate, the more flavorful and tender the meat will be. If you don't have time, allow at least an hour to marinate. Try serving this with my chive or onion butter melted on top!

* Hoisin can be found at any grocery store in the international food aisle.
* Crush parsley flakes in your hand before adding to release flavor. If you using fresh parsley, double the amount.
