Red Wine Marinade

This is the normal marinade in the book. It can work with white wine or red wine. In this recipe I am following the red wine because I am making the "Surf and Turf." This smells really good even when there is only 6 things in it. Always remember when marinading food that you always cook off the alcohol that you are using because it does not cook or tenderize meat, cooking does (i.e. heat). If you have ever tried meat like tri-tip that has been marinaded with red wine (without cooking the alcohol off) only you can taste the harshness of the alcohol which is overwhelming. So you learn something new everyday.
