My word, what a magnificent flavor this marinade did bring to my grilled vegetables on the Fourth of July. I made the marinade in a big bowl, tossed in peppers, onions, broccoli, etc., and allowed them to marinate for about 4 hours. Then I placed the vegetables and some of the marinade in a foil packet and put them onto the grill. The only fireworks display nicer than the one in the sky was the one this marinade brought to my tastebuds. God bless America!

The best I've ever had. If you don't have Tahini (Sesame paste), Sesame oil works well too. Thanks for a great recipe!!!

This was an excellent marinade with a sweet taste. Best meat I ever had. My friends and I made it for a cookout at school. Those of you wondering what tahini is, it's ground up sesame seed, also known as sesame butter. You can't find it at a normal grocery store, so try the local import store - it's a Middle Eastern thing (or if you're feeling bold, grind up some sesame seeds). Dehydrated onions work fine for the onions. The tahini smells nasty, just make sure that the marinade smells somewhat sweet and your meat will taste sweet. We also added a pinch of oregano. Excellent!

I was planning on using this recipe for my daughters birthday party but being the skeptic that I am I wanted to taste test it first. It was great! Even my five year old commented how good it was. I used the marinade for london broil and heated up the reserved marinade and poured over the meat with sauteed mushrooms. Surprisingly I found the tahini in the kosher section of the supermarket. I am definitely making this for the party!

This marinade was the perfect change to our family's boring ones. Not only is the resulting taste really good, but it makes meat very soft. It works well with beef fajita and beef sirloin steaks, meats that matter the most when they're tender. Don't marinate for more than a day, though, or the meat doesn't come out as juicy or soft. Even the pickiest members of the family liked this marinade (myself included)!

I used this for veggie kebobs, eggplant, mushrooms, red and green peppers, onions, and zucchini, and it worked perfectly.

A great and easy marinade! We used this marinade on chicken, then cooked on the grill. A unique flavor, and super taste. We found tahini in the ethnic foods section of the grocery store with no problems. Tonight we are going to marinade salmon for the grill! *Just wanted to add, we used it on salmon. Substituted Splenda for the sugar called for and it turned out fantastic! Even non-salmon eaters had seconds!

We really enjoyed this marinade for something different. I did, however, make a few changes (due to what I had on hand): left out the green onions, used chunky peanut butter instead of tahini, and added a heaping tablespoon of chile garlic paste. I marinated tri-tip steak in it for about 8 hours and grilled it. Also took the remaining marinade, boiled it, and used it as a sauce for the cooked steak. Thanks for the recipe!

I approached this recipe with a "why not?" attitude: I had some chicken breasts to marinate and was looking for something new. This did not disappoint! What a wonderful and unique blend of flavours! Perfect, perfect, perfect! I grilled these and then cut them into strips to serve over a mesclun salad drizzled with olive oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar and then mixed with paper-thin slices of red onion, cucumber, cherry tomatoes. I served slices of grilled bread on the side. So refreshing!

Another WOWWWWW!! I marinated both Chicken Breasts and Eye of Round Steak. Both were fantastic! I am sure the leftovers will taste good for sandwiches. I didn't have tahini - so I just used about 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. I thought the flavor was like the very best teriyaki I could imagine. I heated up the extra marinade and we served it over the meat. We all oooood and awed.
