I always get rave reviews when I use this. I never measure anything and I always substitute Red Wine for the sherry.

We didn't really care for this marinade. It was edible, but it just didn't suit our taste.

I think it was the sherry that threw the taste off for me, added a sour sort of aftertaste...

I did not have sherry or fresh ginger, so I asked for advice from my friends on my cooking forum. Based on their recommendations, here are my substitutions: I used merlot (all I had besides zinfandel) but added 2 t of brown sugar; I used teriyaki instead of soy sauce, because teriyaki is sweeter--again trying to counteract the sourness of the merlot; I used 1 t of ground ginger, but as my friends said, it lacked the punch of fresh. The result was still an outstanding marinade, creating very flavorful and tender rib eyes and T-bones. I will purchase the correct ingredients for next time and try this on other cuts of beef as well. Excellent recipe, Doreen.

I marinated steak tips overnight and cooked them on the grill for diner the next day. They were a HUGE hit with the whole family. Great taste.

This marinade is AWESOME! I get rave reviews every time I marinate my steak in it. It makes "just average" meat into "totally delectable" meat. Wonderful. Many thanks for this one!

This was ok, nothing to write home about. There are several other marinades on this site that we like much better. We used this on strip steaks. We won't be making this again.

This is a great marinade! I made this for Father's Day with beef tenderloin cuts. I let the steaks marinade over night & everyone thought they were fabulous!! Thanks! I'm always looking for a great marinade.

I used this marinade on two very thin and very expensive cuts of meat. Marinated for two hours only do time constraints and cooked it on the George Foreman machine -- to get (most of)the oil out again. Came out fine. Does need to marinated longer but after cooking I put a tiny-bit of Egyptian mint sauce on top of the meat (considering a little goes a long way!). Very tasty.
