Feb. 22nd, 2010 11:05 pmI'm really happy that tonight's dinner turned out well. I got the idea the other day for beef and vegetable kabobs with rice and planned accordingly. I made a marinade for the meat last night, so it was able to soak until dinner tonight. I also cut up an onion, a red pepper, and an orange pepper. We also cooked the left-over marinade and used it as a sauce on the food. And it all turned out really well.
The marinade recipe I have is easy and I found it's highly adaptable:
1 TBSP soy sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (though you could probably use any type of vinegar)
1/2 cup barbeque sauce
1/2 cup orange juice
I didn't have any orange juice, so I substituted cranberry juice. And it calls for a few different spices, some of which I had, so I substituted the others and ended up putting in a little bit of everything (minced garlic, orange peel, anise, oregano, and sweet basil).
So that definitely goes in the win category! \0/
