• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

2. Carefully add olive oil, lime juice, balsamic vinegar, molasses, oregano and garlic. Mix well.
3. Place meat in a shallow baking dish and pour mixture over it. Make sure it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
