Triple-duty marinade

1 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1largeGarlic clove, chopped
6tablespoonsDry white wine
2tablespoonsRaspberry vinegar
1tablespoonFresh lemon juice
2tablespoonsGreen peppercorn mustard or Dijon mustard
½cupCanola oil; or other flavorless vegetable oil

Directions

This recipe makes enough marinade for 2 large flank steaks, at least 1½ pounds each.

Score one steak on both sides. Put it in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. (Wrap and refrigerate the other steak for the next two meals.) Sprinkle the steak with garlic. Whisk in the oil. Pour the marinade over the steak, turning to coat. Marinate at least 6 hours, covered and refrigerated. When the meat is ready for cooking, reuse the marinade with halved portions of the second steak.

NOTE: You may substitute a simpler marinade made by whisking together canola oil and red wine vinegar in 3-to-1 proportions. Sprinkle the meat with chopped garlic, then pour the whisked mixture over it.
