Skirt Steak Marinade
This is a great start to a spectacular weeknight dinner. With a combination of lime juice, garlic, grated fresh turmeric, ginger, smoked paprika, chopped cilantro, a squeeze of an orange and olive oil, how can you go wrong? Not only is this a delicious and healthy marinade that’s great with skirt steak, but it’s equally fantastic with chicken.
This is just a template and can be changed and made into your own version. For example, if you don’t like cilantro, leave it out. You could add freshly chopped parsley, basil or your favorite herb instead. Cooking is about getting in the kitchen and experimenting and not feeling like you have to live by anyone’s set of rules. Try it out and I’d love to hear about your version.
