Meat Marinade

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp salad oil
1/4 tsp tabasco
1 clove minced garlic or 1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper

This marinade is good on almost anything. I prefer to use it on either beef or chicken. I also recommend the minced garlic over the powder, but either will work. It is best if you marinade the night before and let it sit.
