Marinade for lamb or beef

Pour the oil into a bowl, add the fresh lemon juice and the garlic crushed with a garlic press. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and oregano (fresh or dried). If you like it a little spicy, you can add a little cayenne pepper or chili flakes. You can also add other herbs like thyme or oregano; you can’t go wrong with them. Now add the meat to the marinade (tenderize the beef with a meat tenderizer). If the marinade isn’t strong enough, you can add a little more oil. Place the meat and marinade in a freezer bag and let it marinate overnight. The meat can be cooked either in a pan or on the grill. Depending on the thickness of the slices or chops, don’t leave them on the grill for too long, so the meat doesn’t become too dry. If you like, you can also marinate small pieces of goulash with it and then grill them as skewers.
