FAQ

Can this go in a shake jar?

No. This one needs a blender or stove, so make it from this page. Jars only carry pour-and-shake sauces. Its companion jar is below.

What do the quantities mean?

This page lists the published recipe in household units (with metric in parentheses). On a jar, the printed lines, counts, and QR guide carry the jar-batch amounts. Follow the jar or this page, not a mix of both. Amounts in the jar’s ADD row are rounded to the nearest common spoon measure (T = tablespoon, t = teaspoon) so they can be read off the glass.

Where did this recipe come from?

Adapted from Greg & Gabrielle Quiñónez Denton / Around the Fire (Los Angeles Times) (published as “Onion Marinade (Skirt Steak)”). Full citation lives in Provenance.

Can I use it as a marinade and a sauce?

Yes, but keep the portions separate. Never pour marinade that touched raw meat, poultry, or seafood back over the finished dish unless you bring it to a full boil first. Set aside a clean portion before marinating if you want a table sauce too.
