Lemon Herb Marinade

Bright lemon, garlic and fresh herbs blend into a quick marinade that works well on New York Strip or other lean steak cuts. Keep the soak to 4 hours or less, since citrus breaks down the meat's surface quickly and can turn bitter if left too long.

Total Time: 10 minutes

Servings: Makes about 3/4 cup (enough for 1 steak)
