BEEF OR CHICKEN MARINADE

 Last night, I decided to make beef kabobs. I took a BEFORE picture while grilling, but somehow didn't get a chance to take the AFTER picture, before the husband devoured them. These are so good! We don't do anything fancy with a combo of veggies and beef, because the veggies always seem to cook faster than the beef. In this house, it's just all beef or chicken and veggies on the side. This is a really good marinade for beef or chicken. I also use this marinade for thin strips of beef, or chunks of chicken for a stir fry. It's also a wonderful marinade for Beef Fondue. Next time I make these, I will try to get the after picture! I got the after picture the next night - yeah!

YOU WILL NEED:

1/2 Cup soy sauce

1 Cup Water

3 heaping Tablespoons Brown Sugar

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. ginger

2 Tablespoons lemon juice.

DIRECTIONS:

Mix all together with a whisk, and pour over beef or chicken. Let marinate over night, or at least 2 to 3 hours. Grill steaks or chicken, or use for stir fry. Just thicken it a bit with cornstarch and cold water mixture. If the flavor is too strong, simply add more water to the juice, then thicken slightly. YUM!
