Southwestern Marinade
#4
  Re: (...)
This is the marinade we have used on the chuck eye. We really like it. The recipe is from the "Best Make-Ahead Recipes" by CI. The marinade does not have an acidic in the part you marinate on the meat. So, it does not break it down and it can marinate for a long time - 24+ hours. I have not done that yet - usually just a few hours or half a day.

The part that really brightens it up and make it good - is reserving a small amount and adding the lime/lemon juice to it and toping the cooked meat.

Next I will try a thai marinade. I did try a garlic herb marinade on the steak but didn't like it on steak. I will definately use it on chicken or fish.

NOTES : This marinade does not contain an acidic so it can be
marinated for 1 to 2 days with out harming the texture of
the meat. By reserving a little of the marinde and adding

**Do not marinte shrimp, fish or kebabs more than 24 hours
of the meat will get mushy.
