NomEatNom - Red Wine Basil Marinade

Pull out your party hats and streamers, NOMsters, because I am most definitely ready to celebrate!!

You see, after what felt like endless amounts of internet research, I was finally able to find a farm with grass-fed, free-roaming cattle that wasn’t hours away!

Yay!!!

So, you know what that meant. Time for some sweet, sweet grill action, baby!

It’s no small secret that I’m a huge fan of our George Foreman Grill; it makes every season grilling season! 🙂 But, I also absolutely love marinades because they are perfect for “setting and forgetting.” Make ahead the night before, throw the meat on the grill when you get home from work, and voilà — dinner is served!

Red Wine Basil Marinade

By tonya@nomeatnom.com, February 10, 2013

Ingredients:

Garlic (fresh) - 4 cloves, peeled and diced
Basil (fresh) - 1/4 cup chopped, plus extra for sprinkling
Tamari Sauce - 1/2 cup (or substitute with all-natural stir-fry sauce)
Wine (red) - 1/2 cup
Olive oil (extra virgin) - 1/4 cup
Red pepper (crushed) - pinch or two
Salt (pure) - pinch or two

Instructions:

Combine all of the ingredients in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish.

Rinse your meat of choice (we used beef sirloin), and pat it dry. Score the meat lightly with a knife, and place it in the bag or dish. Refrigerate overnight.

Grill as desired. Sprinkle each steak with a bit of extra chopped basil.

Prepare to be stunned by each flavor-bursting bite! :)
