This can be a great marinade if you don't use all the salt or all the powders! I cut the recipe in half for a 1 lb. sirloin steak. I didn't use any table salt and only half of the seasoned salt (basically 1/4 of what the original recipe called for. I used minced garlic and added 2 Tbsp. of olive oil. I let this marinate all day. The result was a very flavorful tender smoky cut of steak and sirloin is not the best cut of meat either so I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely try this again but on strips or rib eyes.

We halved the recipe and marinaded two 5-ounce filets for about 2 hours and they were incredibly delicious. It was pretty salty which I love but you might want to put 1/2-3/4 the amount of salt in it if you like yours less salty. Read More

This is pretty good stuff. I did cut back the salt to 1 tsp of seasoned salt and whish I would have added just a bit more. It has a good smokey flavor and went through the meat very well. DH grilled these for us and we enjoyed them. Read More

We let our frozen chicken breasts sit in this marinade all day and cut them up into strips before baking. Wonderful! Thanks! We will use this marinade often. Read More

For me the flavor is too strong to use as a marinade and I only marinated my steak for 45 minutes! Think it would work better as a sauce to baste your meat with while cooking. The flavor is good 'am trying to think of a way to tone it down a bit. Read More

This was WAY TOO SALTY and I only used the seasoning salt nota adding the regular. Going by what others said I thought I'd cut way back on the salt and our beef tenderloins that I marinated overnight were inedible....What a waste of money!! I'm sorry but this was AWEFUL!!! Read More

I think this recipe calls for wayyyy too much salt. After reading the reviews I decided to cut out the table salt all together and reduce the seasoned salt to just one tablespoon. Next time I will use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. All the "powders" made the marinade pretty thick. I like the concept of this marinade it just didn't work out that well for me. Read More

WAY TOO SALTY. I was suspicious that it had too much salt and the results verified it. It also had too much liquid smoke in it. It does not need the regular salt and the liquid smoke needs to be cut by 1/2. The steak was marinated for 12 hours and probably would have been inedible if was for 24 hours. Read More
