Beyond good!!! There is a lot of preparation but it is worth the effort. I triple the recipe and freeze the left over in 8oz freezer jars. I prep only once and have enough to make a couple more times. You really don't need much as a marinade. Save more back to add after you cut the meat. I either warm up the remaining marinade before adding after cutting the meat or put the cut up meat tossed with marinade in a warm oven to heat back up. This marinade is also fantastic just as a steak marinade without making fajitas.
