Uncle Rons Marinade

 This recipe was given to me almost 40 years ago from the man who would eventually become my daughters godfather. It was created by his father who was a chef. 

2 tsp salt

3 tsp black pepper

2 Tbsp garlic powder

3 Tbsp oregano

1 cup vegetable oil

8 Tbsp worcestershire sauce

3 pounds beef stew meat

White wine

Mix all but the wine in a screw top jar. Shake well and refrigerate up to 2 weeks. 

I use beef stew meat for my kabobs. Add meat to marinating bowl and top with marinade and enough white wine to cover the meat. 

Refrigerate up to 3 days. To make the kabobs use whatever vegetables you like. I use cherry tomatoes. whole mushrooms, bell peppers, red onion cut in chunks.

Grill or broil to  your liking. I serve with rice pilaf!
