Lemony Oriental Marinade Rubs & Marinades

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 3 Tbsp. chopped green onion
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• 3/4 tsp. grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper pods

Instructions

Combine all ingredients, stirring until well blended.

Marinate in a food-safe plastic bag or glass utility dish in refrigerator. Turn meat occasionally so that all sides are equally exposed to marinade.

Marinate for 15 minutes to 2 hours for flavor enhancement, or up to 6 hours to tenderize.

Suggestions

Many markets carry grated ginger in a jar. May substitute crushed red pepper flakes for the red pepper pods.

Tips from Our Cook

If marinade is to be used later for basting or served as a sauce, reserve a portion before adding beef. Marinade that has been in contact with uncooked meat must be brought to a full rolling boil before using as a sauce. Never save and reuse a marinade.
