This is a recipe I have used many times. In fact I use the marinade almost every time I cook beef of any kind. Normally I don’t like strong tastes, but this is too good not to use.
Anyways, I personally don’t like onions so I leave those out. I do like to eat for color though so I will add a yellow and orange bell pepper to the recipe. Also since I like the marinate taste so much I tend to marinade for an hour or more.
