working on a new recipe

[beefmann]

well  im  working on a  new marinade recipe  so far this  is  pretty  good but it  seems it  needs a   lil  something, am  asking for opinions if it  should  stand  or what  to add along  with  quantity

½    CUP LEMON JUICE, FRESHLY SQUEEZED
½    CUP EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
1    CUP BURGUNDY WINE
½    CUP SOY SAUCE
½- 1    CUP BROWN SUGAR ( DEPENDING ON HOW SWEET YOU WANT IT )
2    TBSP BLACK PEPPER
2    TBSP LAWRYS SEASONED SALT
5 - 6    TBSP MINCED GARLIC


my personal opinions  to add in is
2-3 tbsp ground  mustard


thanks in advance

I'm all for adding the mustard !That would have been my suggestion.

[Tenpoint5]

We going to be using it on pork or beef?

[NorthShoreMN]

If you leave brown sugar out or use Very little, how about lamb? Mustard is good

[beefmann]

am  planning to use it   on tri tip

[River Rat]

How about a bit of worcestershire sauce?

[Wildcat]

How about a bit of worcestershire sauce?

Ditto - or better yet substitute soy sauce with worcestershire.

[Gafala]

I second the Worcestershire but use the thick one.

[renoman]

x2 on substitute soy sauce with Worcestershire.

[beefmann]

did a  test run on it

1/4    CUP LEMON JUICE, FRESHLY SQUEEZED
1/4   CUP EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
1/2    CUP BURGUNDY WINE
1/4    CUP WORCESTERSHIRE
1    CUP BROWN SUGAR ( DEPENDING ON HOW SWEET YOU WANT IT )
1    TBSP BLACK PEPPER
1    TBSP LAWRYS SEASONED SALT
3    TBSP MINCED GARLIC

then tasted  it,, was good and  then added  1/4  cup soy sauce and in my opinion  with the  soy sauce it  was  better. am gonn  do  tri tip with it  for  labor day

Here is a marinade recipe I got from my mom, it's great for steak:
3/4 cup veg oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 T minced onion
2 T vinegar
1 large clove garlic, minced
1.5 t ginger
combine all ingredients, pour over steak 4 or more hours before grilling.

I like the looks of your recipe and the suggestions you've gotten, the only input I have is that I would use lime juice instead of lemon but that's just my personal preference. I think the lime juice just has a better flavor in marinades.
