I omitted the beef broth as we are on a special diet and it still turned out fabulous. My family raved and raved about this marinade.

I used this on chicken and it was great! I had this in the marinade for about 5 hrs. and will shoot for longer next time and maybe add a touch of salt as well. Thanks Kitkat :)
