This past Saturday, we had very full day which started out with an early morning cheering competition for my eldest daughter (which they came in 2nd place in their category). We then headed home so that my youngest daughter and her friends could practice for their schools "lip sync" show. It's really quite cute. The kids get on stage and lip sync to their favorite songs while showing off their choreographed dance moves. They have a blast and the parents enjoy watching them as well as the teachers that usually perform an ending number.
I had taken out a roast beef for dinner that I knew was going to be too much for us to eat so I had invited my in laws over for dinner and had asked one of my friends and her family to stay as well (I just love last minute entertaining). This marinade was fantastic on the roast beef, but since we were having so much fun, I forgot to take a picture. So when my daughter wanted filet mignon last night for dinner (she was at another Sweet 16 party Sat night and missed out), I agreed so that I could make this marinade again and take a picture this time! It was a fantastic flavor combination and even better on the filets.

This marinade sounds delicious, Carrie! I bet it would make a great marinade for pork as well. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad I could help Dave! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, I'm sure it would be great with anything! :)
I was wondering if you had considered reserving the marinade to use for making carmalized onions to go with the steak? It has almost the same ingredients that I add for the onions. I'm gonna try tonight. Just not sure how much I should add to the onions.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it would be fine, but I wouldn't use the same marinade that the meat was soaking in. Make a little extra for the onions. Let me know how it tasted!
DeleteThank you...Filet's were delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked the recipe Jennifer! Thanks for stopping back to let me know.
