Magic Marinade from Aunt Jan in WA

Here's the recipe I told you about.Twenty-four hours in this brew will transform Cheapo Chucksteak into Royal Ribeye, guaranteed! This is enough for 8 steaks, at least.
For the 2 of us, I cut it to 1/4 recipe. The magic ingredient is
the cloves. It is for chicken, too, but I have not tried it that
way. For beef, just seek out the nicest looking chuck steak you can
find, then use this marinade:

1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 T. ground dry mustard
2 teaspoons salt
1 T. ground black pepper
1 1/2 T. chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspon dried parsley)
2 T. ground cloves

Mix well with a whisk or in a jar, then pour over steaks in 1 or 2 gallon-size zip-lock bags. Put in frig overnight or longer, turning the bags over once in awhile. ( To hurry things up, you can do a few hours of this just leaving the meat on the kitchen counter, but the longer time will produce a much more tender and flavorful result.)

Bon Appetit! Aunt Jan
