Texas Meat Marinade from Former First Lady Laura Bush.
When Chris and I were wed, my mother gave us a lovely gift. She wrote to friends and family, as well as our current politicians in office, and asked for well-loved recipes. Pres. George W. Bush was in office at the time, so she wrote to First Lady Laura Bush as well. Some of the recipes received are of the sort that my family simply will not touch; this is not one of those.
This marinade is amazing, and simple to boot! There are no photos as I didn't think to snap one before we sat down to dinner, and also because, delicious as it is, it dulled the color of our steaks to a shade that would not make for a nice photo. :)
Any meat can be used for this, but I do highly recommend using beef. As I've not access to Yucatan Sunshine Habanero Pepper Sauce at my supermarket, I simply use Tabasco sauce.

You have great recipes here. Thanks for sharing this one. I would love to try this soon.
Do you use that Habenaro sauce? Somehow I didn't have you and Chris pegged as HOT Sauce people. Was I wrong?
Kay - We use Tabasco sauce as a substitute. On its own, I'm not a fan of the flavor of hot sauce, but I don't mind the heat it packs. :) We do enjoy spicy food, it just depends on the flavors behind the spice.
