Too much salt, do half of a teaspoon instead and taste, then add more to taste. At first I didn’t use the vinager or water and it was great to use to season the steak, then add the water and vinager for serving…

horrible..way way to much salt. must be a misprint should say 1 heaping teaspoon NOT 1 heaping tablespoon.
Melissa Cummings
This recipe received 3 stars for the amount of salt it calls for.

If i try again I will use 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.

This is not the greatest in the world, but certainly not the worst! It does the job. Quick and easy recipe. Lighten up on the salt a bit. Works wonderfully as a marinade. I’ll make it again in a pinch for time.

my argentinian girlfriend uses chopped scallion greens instead of oregano (equal in part to the flat leaf parsley). i’m sure that’s HER family’s recipe, but it’s my most favorite!
