I have been looking for a good marinade for steaks and decided to try your recipe but noticed that the recipe calls for 12 cups of spicy tomato juice. The recipe states it makes about 2 cups of marinade. I was wondering if there was a mistake in the amount of tomato juice :?:
Thanks, bakr4u

Good point bakr4u…I should have caught that myself! That’s what happens when your overtired and trying to post something that makes sense. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. It should read 1/2 cup and not 12 cups. I don’t see why the recipe couldn’t be doubled. But if your satisfied with the 2 cup net…then use 1/2 cup…it was just the "/ " that was missing. Sorry for the goof up. No doubt I have more of them. I shall endevour to be more vigilant…and I do thank you for the type screw-up. Good luck with the marinade…and do let us know what you think of the final result. Regards,
B-man :wink:

Previous message should read…thank you for pointing out my typo screw up…and NOT thank you for my typo screw up. Yah see…I did it again…I think I’ll just blame it on keyboard Gremlins… :lol:
