Since we like Mexican inspired food, I am always looking for new recipes. My searching lead me to find this lime marinade in a owner's manual for the new Oster DuraCeramic Electric Skillet. (I am going to have to do a simply perfect product post on this electric skillet, because I love it.) The lime marinade is part of a recipe called Easy Beef Fajitas. If you like Mexican inspired food, you will like this recipe and will find other uses for it. Of course, I made changes to the recipe to fit our family's taste.
Lime Marinade
- juice of 2 limes
- 1 Tbsp of olive oil,
- 1/2 tsp of cumin
- 1/4 tsp of salt (I used garlic salt and left out the minced garlic.)
- 1 clove of minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes (I used less.)
- black pepper to taste
Combine the ingredients above in a bowl. Add beef and allow to stand for 30 minutes at room temperature. If you use this to marinate chicken or fish, I wouldn't leave it at room temp. Drain meat and discard the marinade, then fix meat as desired.
We weren't use to using a lot of lime in recipes, so we were pleasantly surprised by how good meat was marinated in it. Who knew lime marinade was simply a good thing!
