Notes

  • You can use spicy or regular sesame oil in place of the fire oil if you wish, but the Mongolian fire oil does not add any spice itself, if you are concerned about heat levels.
  • This marinade makes enough for 4 steaks or 4 chicken breasts. You can easily double the ingredients for more.
