She shares her recipe to be enjoyed with friends and a bottle or two of Roodeberg Classic Red Blend of course:
SMOKY BBQ RED WINE MARINADE
Ingredients
30ml (2 tablespoons) olive oil
2-3 cloves garlic, finely grated
250ml (1 cup) Roodeberg Classic Red Blend
80ml (1/3 cup) tomato sauce / ketchup
30ml (2 tablespoons) balsamic vinegar
15ml (1 tablespoon) Worcester sauce
15ml (1 tablespoon) smoked paprika
2.5ml (1/2 teaspoon) ground coriander
2.5ml (1/2 teaspoon) ground cumin
10ml (2 teaspoons) brown sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- In a medium saucepan, add the oil and fry the garlic over medium heat for a minute. Add the wine, tomato sauce, vinegar, Worcester sauce, paprika, coriander, cumin and sugar, and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Stir well, then bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened – the consistency should be that of a basting sauce. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Use as a basting sauce for steak, sosaties and large red meat cuts, or marinate your whole steak cuts (whole sirloin or fillet) for a few hours in the cooled marinade before grilling.
