How to Make Armenian Herb Marinade

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon dried basil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 2 lbs of your favorite protein (beef, lamb, pork, or chicken) to a large resealable bag.
  3. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight, turning the bag occasionally for even flavor distribution.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the meat to your desired doneness, turning occasionally, about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare beef.
  7. Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
