Orange Chili Steak Marinade is well-rounded and full of flavor. Our marinade is made with sweet orange and a hint of spicy chili. This marinade isn't just for steak, though. Use it for chicken, pork, lamb, and turkey as well as beef. It adds a sweet, spicy, tangy flavor to all your main dishes. Also, you can reserve any leftover marinade for a sauce in fried rice or for your vegetables.

Notes

Reusing Marinade

If you want to reuse the marinade as a sauce or baste, pour it in a saucepan and boil it for 5 minutes.

Reserve Sauce Before Marinating

Do not reuse marinade unless you boil it first to remove harmful bacteria. Optionally, set some marinade aside before you put the meat in it. You can refer to the USDA article for more information.

Adjust The Heat

Start at the lower end of the chili paste or hot sauce range, then adjust to suit your preferred heat level before adding the meat.
