Shopping at this awesome international market here in town, we found this awesome soy sauce-esque sauce in the Asian foods section. It has been my go to for a quick meat marinade ever since. It is called Ponzu sauce. Ponzu is a citrus based soy sauce with literally half the sodium. Cha ching! Check out the comparison photos below. Ponzu makes a good marinade because it has not only the soy but the citrus for deeper flavors. For this marinade I mixed Ponzu, olive oil, red pepper flakes and salt. Stored it in a bag for an hour and seared those mini skillet steaks up, on stovetop. Always looking for the affordable cut at the grocery store, we got 6 lil cuts of skillet steaks for 8 bucks (not sure what part of the animal they hailed from, as they were called simply skillet steaks). Makes for two good meals for two.
Remember for my veg heads out there, this marinade proves successful for marinading and searing big hunks of vegetables also (portabellas, zucchinis etc.)
