    Great recipe but grilling time was way too short and it was raw. I'd recommend using a thermometer!

  • Muriel Vonrueden

    This marinade is incredible! My family loved the flavor. I marinated it for the full 48 hours and the steak was so tender.

  • Kiley Altenwerth

    I found that 48 hours was too long and it was a little salty, but delicious.

  • Ebba Oreilly
