WILD BILL'S BASIC WILD GAME MARINADE

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/8 cup Dry Sherry
1/8 cup Wine Vinegar
1 Lime - juiced
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce (Kikkoman) use low sodium if desired
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 Teaspoon freshly ground black pepper corns (Tellicherry) is considered the best
1 Teaspoon Kosher or Sea Salt
3 Garlic Cloves - minced fine
5 or 6 dashes of Liquid Smoke
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar

Mix all the ingredients in a plastic, glass or stainless steel container with a lid and add meat.  I normally add a light coating of Wild Bill's Dry Meat Rub to the meat about 30 minutes to an hour before placing in the marinade.  Overhaul the meat/marinade every few hours to evenly distribute the marinade.  You can leave meat in the marinade overnight if desired.  This recipe is good for several pounds of meat.

Cut steak across grain into 1/8" strips and sprinkle meat tenderizer onto meat;  place in above marinade at least two hours to overnight.  Heat oil and butter in wok and stir fry onion until it is transparent; about 5 minutes.  Push the onion up the side of the wok, then add steak and stir fry until meat turns brown.  Season meat with soy sauce, Wild Bill's Meat Rub and mix in onions.  Remove meat and onions from the wok and set aside while steaming the vegetables.  Place the broccoli, bell peppers and mushrooms in wok and add beef broth.  Cover with wok lid and steam vegetables for 5 to 7 minutes.  (If you prefer your vegetables more done, let them cook for a couple of minutes longer).  Add meat and onions back to wok and season with salt and freshly ground black peppercorns to taste.  Mix cornstarch and water adding to the stir fry mixture and stir until sauce thickens and serve over a bed of yellow or brown rice.

YIELD:  4 servings

Note: I purchased a genuine 14 inch diameter hand hammered wok in 1989 from a TV commercial.  Much to my surprise, everything as shown on the TV ad was exactly what we received.  The wok works best using a gas range or outside gas burner.  The electric range burner even with an auxiliary ring support heats the wok too slow.  Mickey Porter 3-12-99.
