Uncle Bill'S Soy-Ginger Marinade

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup pancake syrup
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh gingerroot
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce or 1/8 teaspoon red hot pepper sauce
• 3/4 cup beer, of your choice

1. In a mixing bowl, mix together all ingredients except beer; stir well.
2. Now add beer and stir gently so the marinade does not foam too much.
3. Prepare steaks,using a knife by scoring any fatty outside areas on steaks.
4. This prevents the steaks from curling.
5. Place steaks in a casserole dish.
6. Pour marinade over and using a fork, punch holes in the steaks so the marinade penetrates the steaks; punch both sides.
7. Cover and marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator before cooking.
8. You may marinate for a longer period if desired.
9. This marinade is also excellent for roasts.
10. Barbecue or fry steaks to your desired doneness.
11. You can also substitute and use a dry red wine instead of beer.
12. Steaks should be about 1 inch in thickness.
13. Rib-eye steaks can be marinated for a different flavor, but I do not recommend as the rib eyes are good with some pepper and granulated garlic powder.
14. If you are using Chuck Steaks, I suggest that you marinate for at least 24 hours or longer.
15. This marinade is excellent to marinate roast beef of your choice.
