MEDITERRANEAN MARINADE

Mediterranean Marinade: Mix all ingredients except oil in blender. Slowly add oil with motor running. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Makes 1½ cups.

In glass dish, pour marinade over roast, coating all sides. Cover and refrigerate 6 to 24 hours. Grill over medium coals, turning occasionally, about 35 to 40 minutes for rare (140 degrees) to medium (160 degrees).

Brush with marinade during last 10-15 minutes of cooking.

Variation: Cumin 'N Lime Marinade: ½ cup beef broth, ⅓ cup fresh lime juice, 2 T. ground cumin, 4 tsp. ground coriander, 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped, ¼ cup olive oil. Follow directions for Mediterranean Marinade. Makes 1 cup. Serve with salsa, French bread and salad with Ranch dressing.

NOTES : I used this marinade on a tenderloin. Seared it first in a skillet and then finished it in the oven--really good! Also good on steaks! Posted to MC-Recipe Digest by "Pamela Creeden" <creedenites@...> on May 7, 1998
