marinated a steak for the first time today. not a particularly interesting recipe but i'm writing them down in case i need ideas in the future. i used the juice of an orange and two limes, red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and msg. the steak was a skirt steak, and i marinated it for ~4 hours.
i'd heard somewhere that you can't really taste spices in the marinade, so i hadn't added any, but since i didn't wash the marinade off before cooking or anything like that, i was surprised by how much you could taste the marinade in the final result. next time i'll have to try some other spices.
