3. EZ Marinade for Grilled Flank Steak, Chicken, or Tofu

To Make the Marinade:
- Whisk together the ingredients and pour over raw meat (whole or in strips)
- Let sit in the fridge (turn or shake once in a while) for at least 1 hour or while your at work
- If your using Tofu I suggest freezing, then thaw and lightly squeeze out excess water. Cut into (large-ish) strips or cubes. This will not need more than 15 minutes of marinating. Then bake on oiled sheet or toss with cornstarch and fry.
As a Meal:
