This is a very simple and delicious marinade for beef kabobs. I cut the recipe in half for about 1.5 lbs. of meat. I used olive oil instead of veg.oil, low sodium soy sauce, and dijon for the prepared mustard. I left out the meat tenderizer, put everything into a ziploc bag and marinated it for over 24 hours. I skewered the meat separate from the peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes as they cook at different rates. The meat was very tender and full of flavor - perfect with a side of rice.

This marinade is something else! My boyfriend and I made shrimp and steak kabobs tonight using this marinade. I only had about 4 hours to marinade but it turned out amazing. I can only imagine what a steak would taste like after 24 hours in this stuff. I wouldn't change a thing! I made a double batch and not only marinated the steak but also the shrimp, mushrooms, carrotts, and zucchini. I used a seperate bag for the veggies. Also, used a low sodium soy sauce and used as much as the recipe called for and it was excellent, not too salty at all. I would give it more stars if I could!

Guess what? We tried it on venison. We cut back on the oil and rather than msg we used montreal steak spice for a bit more zip. All I can say is WOW!!

FANTASTIC!! I doubled the recipe and let a combination of sirlion and chicken chunks marinate for several hours. I reserved some to brush on while cooking. I also used pineapple chunks, cherry tomatoes, green peppers, red onions, and mushrooms on our kabobs. I cooked them under the broiler and brushed the kabob with the marinade several times during cooking. I will be using this again and again.

Made the meat very tender. Very Good! Next time I will add a little more spices. My son and his friend just walked in and grabbed a kabob. My son's friend said the meat is very flavorful. After eating the leftovers my husband said to come back and change my rating to Excellent (5 stars).

excellent! the mustard really gives this a good taste!! i doubled the recipe and used about 6 cloves of garlic plus maybe 1/2 t. of garlic powder. Marinate your steaks overnight grill em 4-6 min on each side. perfect!!

I made this for my mom's birthday and everyone RAVED over it!! Our neighbors were intrigued by the smell and so now I have to give out tons of copies of this recipe!! What a hit! I used about 3/4 cup oil and instant beef broth and seasoning mix instead of the msg. I also used Bragg Liquid Aminos instead of soy sauce (they have the SAME taste and both are made of soy beans, Braggs is just way healthier). We will use again and again!!!!!

This recipe was amazing for beef kabobs! I used spicy brown mustard because that's all I had, and let it set overnight as it says. It was so good that I wanted to try it on something else. I chose pork in a slow cooker- it was way too overpowering. I guess I learned my lesson. Can't have too much of a good thing. ;) It Definetly deserved 5 stars with beef, and the recipe now stays with all my family recipes that I plan to pass on when I have children one day.

Excellent! Used this on cubed beef for our big BBQ and there were no left overs. We added red and orange peppers to the scewers along with a mushroom here and there. Instead of soy sauce I used Tamari Sauce since it's not as salty. I also made extra marinade for portabella mushrooms since my sister is a vegetarian. She absolutely loved them! It's great over rice! too!
01/19/2006
Excellent! I've only used chicken, and it's so tasty! If you just marinate the whole chicken breast, it won't totally penetrate the meat. It's better to cut it up...go for the kabobs! Sometimes I use just a tad less soy sauce...if you have very small pieces of meat, they will tend to taste too salty.
06/08/2005
This recipe is very similar to one my mom has used for years, but with Worchestershire and much more oil added. The added ingredients made all the difference in the world. The meat was so tender and delicious! We are definitely going to keep this one.
09/12/2011
There are a lot of ingrediants in exchange for little flavor. The taste was "fine" but I didn't think it was all that flavorful. I might add a little cumin or cayenne pepper if I were to use again.
07/09/2008
I was expecting a great marinade thanks to the few ratings I read that were 5 stars. I should of looked at the other ratings. I made this this evening, marinating the steak for 24 hours, and I was very disappointed. This tasted very salty like it was straight soy sauce. I followed the recipe to a tee. I definitely will not be using this recipe again...
06/10/2012
Awesome! I cut the recipe in 1/2 since I was doing a smaller portion. And I only marinaded the veggies (zuccini, thai eggplant, mushrooms, bell pepper, red onion), as I was grilling hamburgers. I had less than an hour to marinade, but decided it was better than nothing. The veggies are amazing! I would imagine meat would be awesome too. Oh I didn't use any meat tenderizer, for obvious reasons,lol. Thanks for posting!
06/07/2010
used this on shrimp kabobs w/ mushrooms, broccoli and onions. i only had about 3 hours to marinate and they turned out great! this will be my new go-to marinade for ANYTHING!!
07/27/2014
I made this for beef kabobs and added 1/4 cup of sweet chili sauce. I also used dijon mustard and let it marinate for 4 hrs. It was amazing. I drizzled a little bit of the marinade over skewers of mushrooms, onions, red and yellow peppers and yellow cherry tomatoes. Even my children who normally don't like any of the vegetables loved it. This is a new family favorite!
05/15/2009
I made this marinade for steak and chicken kabobs on mother's day. The only changes I made were to use light soy sauce and no meat tenderizer. This is the best marinade I have ever tasted. My father already requested this for father's day. I marinated the meat for 12 hours and boiled the leftover marinade from the steak bag to brush on the onions and peppers while grilling. Awesome!
09/08/2009
I marinated beef for kabobs and it was delicious!! Very easy and quick to make with ingredients most already have on hand. I love the mustard taste in it. My husband thought it was the best narinade he's ever tried!
01/07/2012
I made chicken with this. I also marinated green peppers and mushrooms, both of which turned out really well! In the left over veggie marinade sauce, I also cooked pearl onions. The chicken was probably a 3.5.
07/11/2005
Awesome - hubby loved it. I used this to marinade thin pork steaks and then brushed some of the marinade over the veggies (hubby thinks he doesn't like kabobs - but its the same thing, just not on the stick! lol) He loved this so much he said we will have to try it out on london broil - and the best statement "I would like to eat like this every night!"
12/11/2004
Thanks to all who have spoken so favorably of my marinade. I just love seeing all of your variants and trying them too. Now I too have taken so many others advice and have also been cutting back on the oil myself. Thanks, JON.

My mother has made this marinade for shish kebab for over 35 years, back when it went by the name "California Marinade" on her recipe card. She added 1/4 tsp onion powder which I still do, and over the years found that using lower-sodium soy sauce reduced the saltiness (which we never minded!) and let the beef/chicken/pork/lamb flavor come through. Really tenderizes the meat & tastes fabulous skewered & grilled with cherry tomatoes, zucchini medallions, onion quarters, white mushrooms, bell pepper chunks and even fresh pineapple. Baste frequently with this luscious sauce & serve with steamed rice &/or fresh corn for a satisfying meal.
08/06/2008
I use olive oil, squeeze a real lemon, and leave out the meat tenderizer. I also prefer low-sodium soy sauce because it gets too salty after hours of marinating, in my opinion. BUT this recipe has been such an awesome addition to my rotation of meals. Everyone that has it LOVES it. I almost always just use chicken and veggies (the mushrooms are fantastic) but shrimp are great, too! This is a standby Company Dinner for me and it's always a success.
08/16/2005
This is very good! I would have given it 5 stars, but I thought it was a bit too salty, as did other reviewers. I will use it again, for sure, but I'll make an adjustment of low sodium soy sauce, or perhaps a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar. I used it on rib steaks and grilled them. Very yummy!
12/09/2010
Tried a million kabob marinades over the past few months. This was the ONLY one that wasn't overwhelmingly lemony. Really enjoyed. The apartment smelled great too. Update: Made if for the entire family for NYE using cheap rump steak. The kabobs were absolutely melt in the mouth. Fantastic marinade. They marinated for about 5-6 hours
06/09/2010
This marinade is the BEST EVER!!! I made beef kabobs using this marinade and they turned out so good !!!!!! Juicy and so full of flavor. I highly recommend this to everyone. I will admit, I am not a big mustard fan, but I had no problem with it in this recipe. Its a must try recipe !! Making again tomorrow for dinner.
09/01/2005
I used this recipe to marinate a flat iron steak for about 4 hours. It was delicious and my kids thought they were eating a very expensive cut of beef. I'll use this marinade on many more recipes.
06/30/2007
Flavorful! Reduced oil to 3/4 c, soy sauce to 1/2 c and marinated cubes of striploin overnight. I did use the Marinated Grilled Vegetables marinade for the vegetables on the skewers because I thought too much of same seasoning would be monotonous. The meat was fabulous - tender and flavorful. Will definitely be making this again.
08/04/2011
I have used this with beef, chicken, and pork, OMG this marinade is simply AMAZING!!!
05/19/2010
We had a frozen cut of beef that was on the tough side...this marinade turned it into FANTASTIC, melt in your mouth steak on out kabobs. I only had time to marinate it for 2 1/2 hours...I can only imagine it would be even better if I had more time to marinate it! Will use again. Easy, great flavor, tough steak turned to gold!
07/25/2011
We doubled this recipe to use for shrimp kabobs. We marinated them for about an hour. They were delicious. Our skewers had only the shrimp and we put 5 on each skewer. We turned them once...cooked about 3 minutes. Everyone loved them!
09/05/2002
Great Recipe! Family's favorite marinade, and friends love it also. Dropped the MSG, and have had it on beef, pork and Chicken. Chicken seems to absorb the flavor the best. After marinading over night, I remove the meat, bring the marinade to a boil, then after it has cooled, use it to baste the kabobs on the grill. I have played around by adding 1/2 tbs fresh ginger, substituting 1/2 of the lemon juice with Pineapple, etc, but the original is great.
01/19/2006
Absolutely fantastic... I served these at a BBQ last summer and one of the guests who is a chef asked me for the recipe! Didn't change a thing except marinated the veggies as well :)
09/02/2012
This was very tasty. I let it marinade for 4 hours and it was tasty even then! I did find the mustard taste to be a bit overpowering at first, but as I ate more, the more I enjoyed it. I am excited to use this marinade for a full steak!
03/24/2012
This was very good. We used olive oil instead of vegetable oil and lime juice in place of lemon (had no lemon). It was very good on both the steak and shrimp we had, as well as the veggies, all of which we marinated in separate containers. I added a raspberry/italian dressing to the veggies and shrimp, as we needed a little more marinade for the amount of food on hand. Easy to make and good on everything. Thanks for sharing.
06/21/2011
this really good... I cut the recipe in half and added 1/2 cup of pineapple juice and 1 tsp. of Citrus Grill Seasoning. Citrus Grill Seasoning is made by the Tone company. Sometimes you can find it at Sams Club. I had to buy it on the internet this time. Sams was out of it. Great stuff!
06/02/2007
Today I tried this recipe, I followed it to the tee. Expecting a wonderful flavor I was highly disappointed.I found it to be very salty and although it was ok on chicken it did not work with the beef.Surely there has to be something better out there.
08/25/2004
This is pretty much all I use when making kabobs. Awesome flavor. I usually halve the amount of oil suggested and I don't really notice a difference in taste. I like to cut down on fat when I can. :) Thanks for the recipe. This is a keeper!
11/20/2007
It's a hit every time and our guests always ask for the recipe!
09/25/2010
I love this recipe. After trying a few store bought marinades, this one tops them all. I will not buy another steak marinade. I use it on grilled steaks, chicken and veggies. My family loves it.
04/16/2014
good recipe but very salty maybe use a low sodium soy sauce
08/23/2010
This was a fabulous marinade. I cut the beef into chunks and marinaded for about 5 hours. It was perfect.
03/14/2006
I LOVE this marinade. We have used on everthing from hamburger, steak and potatoes to zucchini. It is great on everything. We sometimes make a double batch leaving out the oil and cook it down to form a dipping sauce. YUMMMMMM! You sould definetly try this!
04/10/2010
Unbelievable marinade as is!! Here's a cooking tip. Sear kabobs on a BBQ grill on high (don't let them burn). Place kabobs in an oven at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes until done to taste. Put kabobs on a bowl and pour the juices over them. Let sit for 5-10 minutes and then serve (allows juice to go back into the meat). Some of the juiciest, tastiest meat you'll ever have!! Works very well with chicken and steak. Has a very nice smoky taste. Some people even swore I used liquid smoke!
06/22/2003
This was really great. I made it for my parents and grandmother, and they all gave it 5 stars. I followed some other people's advice, and cut down on the oil. I also put Dijon mustard, and Montreal steak spices. It only marinated for 3 or 4 hours, and it added flavor to the meat without overpowering it. Really delicious!
05/31/2011
Chicken came out so tender and tasty. Marinaded for 5-6 hours. Perfect as is - no changes made.
10/21/2011
wonderful flavoring!
07/13/2004
We were disappointed... which completely surprised me after all the five star reviews. I halved the recipe and marinated our 1lb round steak for 24 hours. Tasted strangely sweet and very mustard-y (I used plain old yellow mustard because the recipe didn't specify dijon).
06/29/2003
Scrumptious! We used this marinade with skewers of tomato, onion, zucchini, red peppers, green peppers and mushrooms and basted it every 1/2 hour over a 3 hour period and then bbq'd them. The taste was incredible! (Didn't use any MSG)
01/25/2012
Very yummy!!!
10/11/2011
This is absolutely delicious. Used it on alligator Kabobs and it was perfect.
04/21/2010
This was delectable on the meat, but I didn't like it on the veggies very much (Ithink it was the mustard on them I didn't like). Marinated the meat in it overnight and it was so tangy and delicious!
03/29/2007
This was a wonderful marinade and easy to make. Much better than the bottled ones. Would probably be great on a whole steak instead of just kabobs. I highly recommend this recipe!
04/01/2012
I halved this for one pound of shrimp; after putting together the kebabs and before grilling, I also brushed some of the marinade over the veggies. This was very good. It was a bit salty, but since the shrimp had marinated and the veggies hadn't, it was really only the meat that was too salty. I am definitely keeping this recipe to make again!
08/06/2006
Ecellent marinade, thought the ingredients were different so I was skeptical but it made the best kabobs I let it marinate overnight and used low sodium soy sauce and it was not to salty, next time I think I will try Dijon mustard! Thanks for the post!
12/10/2005
Great recipe! This is so easy, as all the ingredients are already in my kitchen. We have used it on almost every meat that we have cooked, and it turns out great every time. We only use the tenderizer on cheap cuts of meat.
05/08/2012
I used this marinade at a neighborhood BBQ. Everyone asked for the recipe. I did make a few changes. I used 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 1/2 cup olive oil. I did not add the meat tenderizer. I marinaded my meat and vegetable in different bags and then used the extra veg marinade to brush as the kabobs cooked. Delicious!
06/12/2006
Like other people have commented it is a bit salty after having this in the refrigerator for about 18 hours. I'll try it again next time either using low sodium soy sauce or reducing the time in the refrigerator to 12 hours or less. I used top sirloin for the kebobs but will also experiment with chicken sometime.
09/25/2005
I tried this recipe with moose meat, and it was terrific. I used low-sodium soy sauce and made kabobs with the meat and some peppers and pineapple. Everybody loved it. I will definitely use this again.
11/23/2014
I have been using this marinade recipe every Christmas for the last two years when we decided not to do traditional turkey and ham Christmas dinner. It has been a hit with my whole family. That means 18+ people that come for dinner. Also use the same marinade for the chicken kabobs; gotta have chicken for the non red meat eaters.
05/01/2000
Made this Marinade 4/30/00. Easy to make and the Steak tasted just like Restaurants. Needed no salt, pepper or Steak sauce at the table. Husband loved it! Thanks Jon! NancyCarole
06/02/2007
A guaranteed instant hit. You can't go wrong with this marinade.
04/17/2005
I found this recipe when I was searching for something new to do with kabobs. We love this marinade and have sinced used it on all kinds of meat, most recently on steaks that we grilled. I cut back the oil and added just a drop of liquid smoke. Delicious! This recipe is a keeper.
05/14/2006
I found this recipe just about an hour and a half before we were scheduled to eat. So, my meat only had about an hour to marinate. I was quite pleased and probably wouldn't marinate it longer than that because the marinade is very salty and I think too much longer in it and the meat would have been too salty for our taste. I made kabobs of steak, green pepper and pineapple and marinated both the pepper and the meat and was very pleased with how it turned out.
07/12/2014
This was a big hit at a recent barbecue. We used it to marinate tenderloin we grilled. Everyone thought it was awesome!! I followed the recipe as written except I used less Worcestershire sauce. A quarter cup seemed to much for our tastes. We did marinate the meat overnight.
10/12/2011
This is a delicious marinade. I use less oil (about 1/2 cup) and dijon mustard. Wow! Everyone loves it and asks for the recipe! I use boneless chicken thighs and tenders and marinade for 24 hours! Don't marinade your veggies too long... the lemon juice starts to break it down. After removing the veggies from the separate marinade bag, I boil the leftover marinade and put it at the table to pour over the dish! I serve with Jasmine rice....Yumma!
05/25/2010
Very good, especially on chicken.
09/06/2004
This was tasty. Next time I will reduce the lemon to 1/3 as I thought it was a little overpowering.
10/30/2011
Simply amazing. I didn't alter the recipe one bit and it was spot on.
06/28/2014
I cut the lemon juice back to 1/4 cup, omitted the pepper and msg. I added 6 more cloves of garlic for a total of 8, which I then put through a garlic press. I suggest using name brands to get best outcome.
12/22/2014
Excellent flavor. Kids didn't like it. But kids don't like anything! Ha ha
08/26/2001
This stuff is awesome. My dad loves it and requested that I use it on all our steaks. I've done so, and received lots of kudos!
05/18/2005
This marinade is excellent!! My family enjoyed this marinade very much...very fresh. We used it to make beef kabob's. The taste was delicious and texture was very tenter. This is one to make often...will keep it on hand. Thanks Jon!
06/02/2003
We made this recipe with Steak and Chicken Kabobs and it was just wonderful. Very nice mix of flavors.. even on the veggies. I made up the kabobs and marinated the whole thing, skewer and all for 6 hours, and it was wonderful. We had some leftover, and I just can't wait to have these after they've been sitting for 24 hours!
08/04/2009
This marinade is AWESOME!!! My fiance took some meat to work and let them try it and there were a LOT that asked for the recipes (it was all guys, too!) The second time, we used it on thin cut pork chops and it was still absolutely WONDERFUL!!!!! This recipe is DA BOMB!! :) Definitely try it!! It is VERY worth it!!!! A++++++++++++++++++++
08/16/2011
Very good! We tries on chicken and steak kabobs and although it made the chicken very tender, the mustard came through a little strong. Excellent on the beef!
03/28/2006
This sauce is great. I also used low sodium soy sauce. I marninated beef overnight, my husband already wants to know when we are having it again! Thanks!
07/01/2004
This was a great recipe, I used pork tenderlion and it turned out fantastic. I did not add the meat tenrerizer since I was usig a tender cut of meat. I made a half batch and it was plenty, I will make this again with all kinds of meat.
04/03/2007
This is a really excellent marinade - we use it all the time for kabobs.
04/30/2004
FANTASTIC! This is the best recipe for kabobs. 1/2 the oil and montreal steak seasoning were excellent suggestions from other reviewers. Next time I will try marinading the veggies for a short period of time too. Vidalia onions made these kabobs so very.
07/02/2000
this one is very good for using on cheap cuts of beef,I added A1 steak sauce,alittle red wine vinegar and grilled my beef on a open fire made with apple wood,delectable
02/07/2007
Always excellent
07/09/2007
Excellent for Kabobs or Flank Steak. It's a bit too salty for regular steak
05/02/2004
I marinaded chicken breast I had cut in cubes for a "pot-luck" kabob night we had with some friends. Our son got sick at the last minute, so my husband took this to the party without me. He told me everyone raved and asked for the recipe. I did make a slight change, I use 1/8 c. country dijon and 1/8 c. yellow mustard and did not use the meat tenderizer. Will pull this recipe out the next time I need a high WOW factor!
01/12/2008
This recipe is excellent. I cut it down to 2 servings and use it to marinate london broil (aprox 1 1/2 lbs). It always turns out tender and flavorful. I also substitute low salt soy sauce, dijon mustard and leave out the meat tenderizer. This has been our standard and favorite marinade for over a year now.
05/12/2013
Yum. Just made this. Added a bit more garlic, a slash of red wine and a splash of Bovril. Replaced meat tenderizer with a couple of teaspoons of Montreal Steak Spice as suggested earlier. Huge hit with the entire family!!
08/03/2003
Yum, yum, yum! I have used this marinade on chicken and steak kabobs, and both were delicious. I also substituted various spices for the MSG. I marinated the meat overnight and then a few hours before cooking, I skewered the kabobs with the meat, green & yellow squash, mushrooms, orange pepper, red onions & tomatoes and marinated for the last few hours. They looked gorgeous and tasted like heaven--got me lots of compliments from guests! Thanks for a great recipe!
07/27/2019
So easy and it came out great! Everyone has been requesting the recipe!
08/25/2011
Awesome as written. I found 4 hours to be plenty of time for beef sirloin. Next time I might try reducing the oil by half. I didn't find it TOO oily, but I think it might be just as good with less.
05/20/2007
Shish kabob is one of our favorites for the grill, so I looked forward to trying this recipe. I wasn't disappointed; it was fantastic. I used cubed chicken breast and sirloin. I've tossed my collection of other marinades and settled on this one.
04/01/2007
Really easy, quick marinade and was great with beef. Will definitely be using this one again! thanks!
04/30/2011
Love this marinade on steak, chicken, veggies, etc. We've made it a couple times now and it is wonderful!!!
08/17/2008
very easy and yummy. i got many compliments on my beef kabobs. :)
07/31/2004
Delicious! I followed the recipie exactly (used fresh lemon juice) and marinated both beef tenderloin and chicken for grilled kabobs. The taste and tenderness were perfect. For the leftover meat, I turned it into a stirfry with rice and veggies and that was delicious too.
02/21/2011
Very good
06/26/2000
I really like this marinade! I omitted the meat tenderizer and used chinese spicy mustard.
03/17/2015
Amazing!!! Best kabobs I've ever had we used this recipe on steak and Chicken And they were both delicious!!
04/01/2012
Did not care for the flavor of this marinade. I think it may have been the lemon juice because it had a "tang" to it that I just didn't care for.
06/27/2000
Very good, however a little on the oily side. Next time I'll cut back on the oil.
