STEAK OR CHICKEN MARINADE

Depending on how much Chicken or Steak you're going to marinade, you may need to add or lessen the below ingredients.

- 1-2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar or Red Wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup OJ (you can also use instead lime or Lemon juice)
- 1-2 tbsp Maple Syrup (or use Agave syrup)
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1-2 tbsp any type of mustard
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning (or dried thyme)
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp Nutmeg
- fresh cracked pepper
- 3-4 green onions
- 1 small red onion
- 4 tbsp coconut oil
- Want to make it "JERK HOT" de-seed 1-2 Jalapenos and add them to the marinade

1.) Add everything together into a blender or processor and blend up
2.) place steak or chicken into marinade for a few hours (5hours worked well for me) cover it with wrap
3.) take out steak or chicken, sear the top and bottom on the BBQ or in pan couple min per side
4.) place into over at 350 for 10-15min
5.) take out of over and "Tent" your steak and chicken for 3-5min. This will keep all the juices and flavours in the meat! Ohhh getting fancy!
6.) Get even more fancy and plate your meat with a garnish :-p
