How to Make Beef Or Lamb Marinade

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add the meat to a large resealable bag or a shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 days, flipping the meat halfway through.
  5. Preheat your grill or smoker to medium-high heat (approximately 350-400°F).
  6. Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  7. Grill or smoke the meat for 15-20 minutes per pound, or until desired internal temperature is reached. Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness. Internal temperature should reach 145°F for medium-rare beef and 145°F for lamb.
  8. Let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
