mmm these truly were exotic flavors in a steak! I used filet mignon steaks, my fav! I let it marinate for about 6 hours and the steak truly absorbed the flavors!!! i really liked the combination of flavors in the marinade! it was very different from any other steak marinade i've tried! but i really truly enjoyed it! and so did my fam, friend, and boyfriend! we all gave it 5 stars!!! made for recipe swap 17

Wow, I've never made such a wet marinade before but it works. The flavour was all the way through our Scotch Fillet or Rib Eye steaks. I probably left it in for just over an hour. Any longer and my steak would have been too soft although a tougher cut can probably take it. We like our steak rare so a quick grill on the BBQ and it was done. Didn't get a chance to baste with the rest of the marinade but it didn't need it. BTW, I served this with Unbelievably Delicious Macaroni Pie for a full Caribbean experience! Should have had a little rum punch with it too!

Made this tonite and it was the BOMB! Only thing different for me was I did not use beef, I used some skinned, bone-in chicken breasts, which are juicier than skinless. This was sooo tasty. After I removed the chicken from the marinade, I brought it to a boil..raw chicken, you know, and served over steamed white rice with sweet red peppers. This is good enough for any company dinner. Thanks for sharing.

I'm so glad I chose this recipe, it is outstanding! I used sirloin steak for this...all the ingredients in this marinade blend together to create the perfect flavored beef.. I chilled the beef for 6 hours and I increased the rum (I used dark rum) I increased the fresh garlic to 2 tablespoons, I cooked the beef it on my indoor grill it was SOOOO good! this will go into my favorites to make many more times, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten
