The marinade described here is very good if you are grilling meat, either chicken or steak. When we make chicken or beef fajitas we cut the meat into strips and marinade just as described above.
Using the zip lock bag is perfect, because we keep it in the fridge anywhere from 4-12 hours soaking. Its also very clean and does not smell up your fridge. Very simple to turn the meat over as well, just plop the bag over. Just before grilling, I drain the marinade from the bag and pat the meat dry with a paper towel. Some times I will brush the meat lightly with olive oil as the meat grills. Simple clean up too, just throw away the ziplock bag!
Really flavorful, folks around the neighborhood know when we are grilling, it smells so good.
