Zesty Onion Marinade

½ cup oil

½ cup apple cider vinegar

8 cloves garlic, sliced

½ cup grated onion

4 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons coarse ground

black pepper

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Mix the marinade ingredients in a re-sealable plastic bag and add the meat. Marinate in the refrigerator 1 to 4 days depending on how tough the meat is, and how much flavor you want to add (or hide).

Marinades work until you pour them off, and if you don’t rinse them off of the meat, the oil will keep the steak from sticking to the grill.

Finally, never add the cold marinade to the finished steaks on the plate! It needs to be brought to a boil and simmered 4 minutes to be safely added to the finished dish.
