Recipe: Tenderizing Marinade (using bourbon, soy sauce and ginger)

TENDERIZING MARINADE

"I use this for London broil. I soak the meat overnight, and it nearly melts in your mouth!"

1/2 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup bourbon
2 small onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 Tbsp. gingerroot, chopped OR preserved ginger
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 tsp. dry mustard
Dash wine vinegar

Combine all ingredients for the marinade. Soak meat in mixture for 6 to 24 hours.

Remove meat from marinade and grill or cook as desired. Boil used marinade for a few minutes before using for basting during grilling.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups
