For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a minced jalapeño or a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the marinade. Poking holes in the meat before marinating can help the marinade penetrate deeper. If you don't have fresh oranges or limes, you can substitute with bottled juice, but the fresh citrus provides a brighter flavor. This marinade is also excellent for grilling chicken or pork.

Mar 16, 2025I accidentally left it marinating for 24 hours and it was still delicious, just be careful not to over-marinate depending on the cut of meat.
