Hanife's Rosemary Beef Marinade

Prep time: 5 minutes

I learned this recipe from my sister and immediately fell in love with the taste it adds to meat. 

Ingredients:

• 1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary 
• 3-4 cloves of garlic
• 1 small onion - optional
• 2-3 tablespoons of sour cream/yogurt
• 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
• 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt, pepper, and crashed red peppers/chili powder to taste 
• Oregano

Directions:

1. Blend all the ingredients in food processor together.
2. Marinade the meat in the sauce for about an hour before cooking. 

Tips:

1. If you do not have time, you can cook directly after mixing the meat with the sauce. 
2. Increase the quantities if you are using more meat. I used this for about a pound (400gr) of cubed steak.
3. Using onion will make it more liquidy. I did not use onion; however, it is in the original recipe.
4. If you use yogurt, use less as it will also make it more liquidy as opposed to sour cream.
5. Add more olive oil to have a more liquidy mixture.
