This marinade is wonderful with pork chops, flank steak or chicken wings. For pork chops, marinate four 8-ounce chops in the refrigerator overnight. Grill over hot coals until medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side. For London broil or flank steak, marinate one 1 1/2-to-2-pound piece in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours. Grill over hot coals until rare, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
