Chef's Tips

Marinating with vinegar not only adds flavor but also helps tenderize the meat by gently breaking down its proteins.

Recipe Reviews

  • Delicious!! I made the recipe as written and served with garlic bread. It definitely took longer than 30-minutes, but that is fine. Flavors are amazing. Thank you for another go-to recipe, I will be making this again soon! A. Dizon
