CITRUS SAUCE - FOR VEGETABLES OR AS A MEAT MARINADE



Citrus Sauce - for Vegetables or As a Meat Marinade image

Besides dressing vegetables such as asparagus, carrots, broccoli and cabbage, this sauce can be used to marinate fish, poultry or pork dishes. This makes far more than is needed for a vegetable side dish, but it can be refrigerated or frozen for future use - but it can also be easily halved if desired (you only need 1-2 T per vegetable serving). It's low-fat too!

CITRUS CARNE ASADA MARINADE



Citrus Carne Asada Marinade image

I have used this recipe for a number of years, and most often marinate enough steak for a few meals. After the marinade time, the steak can be frozen in meal-sized portions for quick meals later. The flavor of this carne asada is much better, and the meat much more tender, than any I have had in Mexican restaurants. If cut in strips, this meat also works very well for fajitas. Serve with tortillas, Mexican rice, and beans.

CITRUS STEAK MARINADE



Citrus Steak Marinade image

This a great steak marinade that has citrus and spice flavoring. The sugar will burn quickly on the grill so be mindful of the time the steak is on the grill.
