Fantasy football doesn't always mean fantasy moves come true.
Last season at the University of Notre Dame Football Fantasy Camp, Ge Wang, a 2008 Notre Dame graduate, tried a move that is a video-game player's dream.
"I thought I was younger than I was," said Wang. "I double-tapped the circle button, for those kids playing Madden. Don't double-tap it. That's when you get hurt."
Wang's attempt to pull off a stunning spin move ended up with Wang being carried off the field.
Suffering a torn ACL couldn't keep Wang off the turf this season for the Notre Dame Football Fantasy Camp.
"I grew up with Notre Dame in my blood," Wang said Thursday night after the Irish fantasy football game ended on a perfect night at Notre Dame Stadium. "My father is an alum. I cherish every opportunity to come back. I grew up saying 'Go Irish.' I've been coming to games since I was five years old. When you set foot on campus, there's something magical and special about this place. It's hard to put in words."
Wang's business creates custom-made suits, shirts and other finery for Chicago's elite, including top stars from the NFL, the NBA, the NHL and MLB.
At Notre Dame's fantasy camp, Wang steps onto the green turf where legends have roamed.
"First off, I'm trying to prove that I'm young, which I'm not any more," Wang said of returning to Notre Dame's fantasy camp after suffering an injury. "It's always nice to come back and this is a great experience, but really it's the friendships you build year after year. You become lifelong friends with the people you meet here. To run out of the tunnel is an added bonus. The friendships you build, they're really something special."
Mark Smith of Cleveland, Tennessee, has been at the Notre Dame fantasy camp for 10 consecutive years.
"As a boy, I was an Irish fan," Smith said. "I'm still a little boy. I don't want to grow up. This is my boyhood dream. Every Catholic kid in Chicago wants to play for Notre Dame when they're growing up.
"Notre Dame is a family. There's no other place that has a family like Notre Dame. Whether you're here one time or 10 times, it's all family. Notre Dame is people. That's what makes Notre Dame more special than any other place."
Smith and his father run 10 McDonald's Restaurants. His second passion is college athletics.
What sent chills up Smith's spine was when legendary Irish coach Ara Parseghian walked into the Notre Dame locker room to talk to this summer's campers.
"There's nothing greater than hearing Ara Parseghian in the Notre Dame locker room," Smith said. "He's one of the greatest coaches in the history of college football. I have a good friend, George Kunz, who played for him. George was the captain of the 1968 team. He speaks unbelievably highly of Coach Parseghian. Coach Parseghian is a legend. Seeing him . . . it was very special."
Notre Dame Football Fantasy Camp manager Lacey Love said the oldest camper this year is 70 years old and the youngest camper is in his mid-30s.
"The guys have created their own family here," said Love. "It's a fraternity, a camaraderie, a family. Three campers who met here four years ago bought a house together in South Bend to come back for games. These guys are a tight-knit group. Once you accept that it's a bunch of guys who just want to live the dream, it's a lot of fun."
Notre Dame's Football Fantasy Camp has 47 campers who hail from as far away as Hawaii and Canada--and from as close as Granger.
One of the special features for Notre Dame Football Fantasy Camp participants is the visits from former Irish greats.
This past week, an Irish pantheon of Manti Te'o, Brady Quinn, Tim Brown, Marc Edwards, Kory Minor, George Goeddeke, Allen Rossum, Allen Pinkett, Julius Jones and John Carlson helped the fantasy camp forge the memories of a lifetime.
Campers weren't the only ones in awe of the visits from former Irish greats.
"It's always incredible when former players come back," Irish cornerback Matthias Farley said. "They've all been where we are, and in a lot of cases they have been where we want to go. They still preach the same message that is preached to us from the coaching staff now. It's exciting and encouraging to have them come back. They are so invested in this place, and they have so much wisdom that they can impart. It's a great way to pick someone's brain about, 'What are you doing now?' or 'How's life been?'
"I always talk to Rod Smith. He lives in Charlotte (Farley's hometown). I met him before I even committed to Notre Dame. I've kept up with him. It was great to see him this week and catch up and hear how life is for him."
Farley said the campers also make a huge impact on the current Irish players.
"I look forward to this week all year," Farley said. "It's a great way to kick off the summer. It's a great way to kick off the 2015 season. You come out here, and there are all these die-hard Notre Dame fans who would do anything to trade spots with me and any of my teammates. It's humbling that these guys come here and battled through a bunch of injuries and come out and compete. It's so special for them to play a game at Notre Dame Stadium. It means so much to them that it really puts it all into perspective for my teammates and me."
Notre Dame running backs coach Autry Denson said he loved being around the fantasy camp participants because their passion for Notre Dame reminds him how blessed his is to be part of the Irish football program. He also likes what it does for the current players.
"This event teaches the players we have now what it's all about," Denson said. "When you're here, you don't get it. You're too young. When you're here, you're thinking, 'I want to get out of here and I want to get to that Notre Dame network. I want to get to the NFL.' You want to get that degree. You're so focused on what's ahead that you forget what's right in front of you and you can't appreciate it.
"If you talk to every alumnus here, he will tell you that you spent your time trying to get out of Notre Dame and then you spend the rest of the time trying to get back. What's nice about this is our players hear the stories, they further appreciate what they have--and hopefully they slow down a little bit so they can appreciate the journey while they're here."
Mourning a Friend
Manti Te'o, who helped lead Notre Dame to the 2012 national championship game, returned to South Bend to mourn the passing of Robert Sedlack, a professor of visual communication and design at Notre Dame.
Te'o said Sedlack helped him decide to stay at Notre Dame for his 2012 season.
"He was not only my professor, but somebody who I trusted, somebody who had a lot of impact on my life," Te'o said of Sedlack. "My conversation with him my junior year was very influential in my decision to stay. He and I had been in contact since I left."
Te'o loved the opportunity to visit Notre Dame.
"It means the world," Te'o said of coming back to Irish ground. "Notre Dame is home. Within a home, you have family members. I told the younger players, `I don't know any of you personally, but the fact that you wear the Notre Dame logo and emblem on the chest makes us family.' I've only met Tim Brown two or three times, but I feel like I've know him my whole life because that Notre Dame logo brings us all together.
"Notre Dame brought a lot of people into my life, like Professor Sedlack, who had a tremendous impact on my life and became part of my own family. His passing affected me deeply. He meant a lot to me."
Next Phase
Former Notre Dame tight end John Carlson is retiring from the NFL after seven seasons. Carlson played with Seattle, Minnesota and Arizona after leaving the Irish. Carlson said Thursday at the Notre Dame fantasy camp football game that his transition to life after football will be aided by his Notre Dame experience.
"The principles I learned at Notre Dame will help me a number of ways after football," Carlson said. "The thing that jumps out at me immediately is the Notre Dame family. It's a real thing. It's something I experienced in the eight years since I graduated. It's a network of people who truly care about one another. I've been the recipient of a lot of great advice and support. That's a key component of what Notre Dame is, the alumni network, the family.
"Beyond that, I have a history degree from here that I'm proud of. If I choose to go into education, that will be directly correlated with my degree in the education path that I chose. I'm continuing to pursue different opportunities and figure out what I'm really passionate about. Football has been my passion for five years in college and seven years in the NFL. It's going to take a little time to figure that out, but I'm going to try to be patient and work the process."
Fullback Memories
Marc Edwards, who was a captain for the Irish in his senior season (1996) and played in the NFL for eight seasons, lamented the lack of plays for a fullback in the Irish fantasy camp game and football overall.
"There are no fullbacks in today's game," Edwards said.
"I talked to kids nowadays. They say, 'Oh, you played professional football? What position did you play?' Fullback. 'What's that?'
"Fullback will come back a little bit," Edwards said. "You look at teams that are having some success in the NFL, Seattle, San Francisco in past years. They have the fullback in there a little bit. But it will never be what it was in the 1980s and the 90s."
Although Edwards ran the ball and caught the ball some, Job One for him was blocking.
"I take a lot of pride in the fact Autry Denson is the all-time leading rusher at Notre Dame and I got him started his first two years," Edwards said.

Vasudha Foundation on behalf of GHG Platform India organised a roundtable consultation in New Delhi for inputs and recommendations from experts in the field of Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry, Land-use and Land-use change, Energy, Industry, and the Waste sector on methodology approaches and overcoming data challenges while expanding the time series of GHG estimates from 2005 to 2013 at both the national and state level. The meeting was organised in Amaltas Hall, India Habitat Centre on April 6th, 2017
During the meeting, several challenges in terms of methodology approaches, appropriate usage of proxy activity data, approaches to be adopted for apportionment of national data to state level data and vice versa in the absence of accurate activity data, activity data source for non-organized sectors, uncertainty in data and emission factors and associated approaches to reduce uncertainty, etc. were discussed.
GHG Platform India, in the second phase, is diving deep into GHG estimation at national and state level and extending the time series to 2005 to 2013. It was understood that the platform would meet with numerous challenges going forward. WRI India, therefore, invited GHG Experts in and around western region of India in order to stocktake their opinion and plausible solutions to the challenges that the platform is likely to face on methodological issues, calculation methods and activity data related issues. The event took place at WRI India, Mumbai office on 17 Mar 2017. The discussion was driven more on finding the solutions to the roadblocks that is likely to be faced by each sectoral partners.
International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives organized a roundtable to discuss the GHG Platform India – waste and industrial emission estimates. The discussion focused on the methodology adopted for the emission estimations, data sources and assumptions, and challenges in the sector.
An Interactive Stakeholder Consultation Workshop on GHG Platform India organised by Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy and Council on Energy, Environment and Water at Taj Vivanta, Bengluru on 24th January 2017. The objectives of the workshop were to showcase the results of a trend analysis conducted during the first phase of the project, present the methodology of the second phase and deliberate on the challenges foreseen for the second phase.
The website of GHG Platform India was officially launched on 15th July 2016 at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. During the launch event, the platform showcased National level emission estimates from 2007 – 12 from key sectors such as energy, waste, industry, agriculture, livestock, forestry, and land-use and land-use change sectors represented in a transparent and comprehensive way.

100 years ago, Thaddeus Stephenson Allen answered his country's call and enlisted in the Marine Corps. T.S. Allen soaked up history as a young man, reading
stories of Lexington and Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, Lundy's Lane, Chapultepec. These seemed to me like those stories which begin, "There were giants in those days." Still, they gave a heroic background in my mind for the closer events of the Civil War, and the brief but glorious episodes of the War with Spain, in reading of which I was first introduced to the Marines.
The internet is an amazing thing. I was reading Alan Axelrod's "Miracle at Belleau Wood: The Birth of the Modern U.S. Marine Corps" and he quoted, but did not identify one of the Marines in MAJ Thomas Holcomb's 6th Marines. Checking the end notes, I found that it was from "Echoes from Over There" (Edited by Craig Hamilton and Louise Corbin), as quoted in Robert Asprey's "At Belleau Wood". Fortunately, "Echoes from Over There" is available online, so I was able to not only to find the original quote, but the full, first-hand story of Marine Private T.S. Allen. Not only that, but with a quick visit to Ancestry-dot-com, I was able to find out considerably more details about his family. (Sadly, once I get on that site, it's a time-sink for me and I emerge hours later knowing many things, most of which are of no relevance to what I was looking for originally!)
He writes vividly of his first experience in combat, drawing on his knowledge of history. He wrote this while still hospitalized due to being gassed in Belleau Wood and one can easily see how he'd eventually end up in the newspaper business…
"Here they come!" a shrill boyish voice piped up.
"Hold your fire!" the injunction ran from officer to officer and man to man.
The German barrage lifted; the French guns almost ceased firing. The men about me were cursing and swearing in that choice collection of profanity that belongs to the Marines. It took me back swiftly, on the wings of memory, to a lonely walk in the woods I had taken, as a boy, when I had whistled to keep up my courage.
The German troops were clear of the woods. On they came with closed ranks in four lines. One looked at them with almost a friendly interest. No particular hate or fear. And yet there was a queer sensation along the spine, and the scalp seemed to itch from the tug of the hair at the roots. The fingers bit into the rifle.
"Hold your fire!"
As the command rang on my ears with a sharpness that enforced obedience, I seemed to be standing on Bunker Hill and hear the command: "Wait till you see the whites of their eyes!"
I think I know how those old Yanks felt that day, as the enemy drew nearer and nearer.
The next I recall is firing. Firing. Firing. My fingers were tearing greedily at more ammunition, then the instinct of the hunter restrained me. I began to fire slower, looking for my mark, making sure of a hit. The Huns now appeared to me almost on top of us and then, all of a sudden, there was nothing more to aim at. A few scattered groups with hands held up, racing for our lines and shouting "Kamerad! Kamerad!"
The Marines weren't the only ones there, as Army units were on both sides of them, but this fight really does deserve credit for "The Birth of the Modern U.S. Marine Corps". It remains legendary in the Corps and I hope to be able to some more research to learn the stories of these Marines and share them with you. If my cards fall right, I'll be in Belleau Wood next year, walking the ground. After all, that's the only way to understand it.

The next Military Classics Seminar (18 April 2017) will feature a review of William Philpott's Three Armies on the Somme: The First Battle of the Twentieth Century, by David Silbey, Professor and Associate Director at Cornell University in Washington. You have 8 days to read it!
If you've not attended the seminars before, you're truly missing out. Each month (minus some summer months and December), either a member or a guest speaker provides and oral review of a military classic or a recent book of note. Discussions both precede and follow the commentary by the speaker. There's dinner and a bar, so no one goes hungry or thirsty. The opportunity to discuss military history and rub elbows with a variety of historians is worth considerably more than the nominal $35 cost for the dinner. It's held at the Fort Myer Officer's Club and we gather at 5:30pm, with dinner served at 6:30pm and the talk starting around 7:30pm. The dinners are always good, but this month is special, as the dessert is pecan pie!
Contact Co-Secretary Eric Joyce via email: militaryclassics -at- gmail.com to make your reservation.
I also wanted to pass along the upcoming speakers and events at the University Club's Military History Legion. I've not yet attended, but will likely circle July 11th, since Kevin Hymel doesn't talk enough about Patton for me to have my fill….
Dinner is afterward, but there is an $18.00 open bar – Wine, beer, soft drinks and complimentary popcorn to hold you over during the talk.
All events are at the University Club: 1135 16th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036, Phone: 202 862-8800. You may also join us for dinner with the speaker afterward. Non-members may use credit cards or cash for dinner. Business attire (no jeans). Valet parking available: $12 for 2 hrs, $17 for 2+ hrs; some metered parking nearby but may run until 10 pm!

During the reunion for the 71st anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima, I had the chance to meet Norman L. Baker.
Norm served in the Sea Bees (Naval Construction Battalions) during World War II, but Norm wasn't a skilled laborer like most of the men in the Sea Bees. He was just a young guy and assigned as part of the security detachment for Headquarters Company, 62nd Naval Construction Battalion. The battalion was attached to the Fifth Amphibious Corps, so he landed on Iwo Jima to provide security for the engineers and tradesmen.
Unlike Marines in the line, this ended up allowing him some opportunities for 'wandering'. He told me of his fascination with airplanes, especially fighter planes. As soon as the airfields were "secured" enough that they could risk basing planes there, they did. So, Norm had a chance to get up close and personal with the planes. He related that one time, a fighter plane taxied off the runway and the pilot hopped down when he was nearby. The pilot was a young red-headed fellow, probably right about Norm's age and was thrilled to be able to show him everything there was to know about the plane. It's a thrill he still remembers. When he went back a few days later to see if he could find his new friend, Norm was told he wasn't there anymore. One hopes that the pilot was merely injured or reassigned, but I can't help but imagine that he was among the thousands who paid with their lives for the Marines to secure Iwo Jima.
Due to the proximity of the National Museum of the Marine Corps and the high profile of the event, several docents from the museum were in attendance and brought along some artifacts. When Norm was on Iwo Jima, he carried a Thompson Submachine Gun, as he is here in the photo. It was just happenstance that I saw him drift over and ask the docents if he could hold the gun. So, we all got some nice shots of Norm posing in front of the map they'd brought from the museum.
Attending these reunions is always among the highlights of my year because there's such an opportunity to meet and mingle with some wonderful veterans, their families, historians and Marines of every era. Importantly, never forget the Sea Bees!

As I've noted before, I stumbled upon the Military Classics Seminar about a year ago and it's the group I've been looking for the last twenty years. Each month, we gather in the Officers' Club at Fort Myer to have a few drinks, enjoy dinner and hear someone give an oral review of a military history book. Some are classics, but some are more modern. Of course, the grandest benefit of attending is meeting your peers. There are military historians from every branch, authors of all kinds, retired military officers and interested amateurs like myself. Some of the greatest benefit to the meetings is the discussion between the attendees throughout the evening. It wanders across all periods of history, including sometimes dealing with personal experiences, and across all kinds of topics.
The dinners cost $35 and there's a book raffle (I always put in an extra $5 and come away with a book a few times a year). We gather at 5:30pm for a social hour, followed by dinner at 6:30pm and the presentation at 7:30pm. To get onto Fort Myer, you need to use the Hatfield Gate unless you have a military ID. They will do an ID check and a routine inspection of your vehicle.
Make your reservation no later than the Wednesday prior to the meeting by replying Eric Joyce at this e-mail address email@example.com or to Bob Goldich by phone at (703) 359-1074. Pay for the meal with check or cash ($35) at the entrance to the meeting room at Ft. Myer. Those who make a reservation and do not show are still obligated for the cost of the dinner.

Touring the National Museum of the Marine Corps with veterans of the Battle of Iwo Jima is an amazing privilege. While one can often find Iwo Jima veteran Frank Matthews in the museum working as a docent (feel free to stop for a moment and Google Frank Matthews Iwo Jim Marine Museum), there have never been and will never be so many veterans of the battle in the museum as there were on Friday. As part of the Iwo Jima 70th Reunion and Symposium, there were more than 20 such veterans at the museum. You couldn't swing a camera without finding another to interview.
Many of the veterans stopped in front of the map of Iwo out in the main hall and, prompted by the docents (generally retired Marines themselves), pointed out where they'd landed and some of what they saw.
PFC Albert Pagoag, with whom I share a Basque ancestry, pointed where he landed with E/2/27 in the first wave. By the time he was wounded 20 days later, there was only one other Marine left in his company. After time in hospitals on Guam and back at Mare Island, he was discharged in February of 1946. He was promoted on his discharge to E-3, Corporal at the time, but in modern terms, a terminal Lance Corporal. Efforts of a Viet Nam era Marine secured funding for Albert from the Boise community and he not only attended this reunion but will attend the Reunion of Honor on Iwo Jima itself in late March.
Looking down from the stairs, I spied Josef Reece speaking to docent Mac Kolar about his time on Iwo. Josef served as an amphibious tractor (Amtrac) driver, making two trips to deliver fellow 5th Division Marines ashore on Blue 1. His LST had enough supplies that he stayed busy with that ship unloading for 4 days, then began unloading other ships while the battle raged.
Many of them spoke of that terrible black sand of Iwo Jima. The short beach lead directly to a tall wall of sand. The black sand was 'like coffee grounds' and Marines tell of feeling as though all the were doing when trying to climb up it was slide further down it.
On Saturday, there was a veteran's panel with 6 veterans of the battle. The participants were General Lawrence Snowden, Don Mates, Charles Frazier, Wilson Horde (Navy), Walter O'Malley and Ron "Rondo" Scharfe (Navy). They offered recollections on the service, poignant reminiscences of battle buddies, and insight into the plight of the average Marine or sailor. It's 75 minutes you won't regret.
If you're curious about Jimmy Trimble, who was Don Mates' tent mate and a Washington Senators pitcher, you can see Gary Bedingfield's biography of Trimble on his Baseball's Greatest Sacrifice website or ESPN's Page 2 article on The Legacy of Jimmy Trimble by James Roberts.
Hopefully, I'll be able to add the videos from the Museum later. Thanks to the folks over at Load the HEAT for prodding me to publish.

The American sociological association has an academic essay writing style for formatting, citation, referencing and the entire text. The 5th and the current edition is what we use when we offer physical therapy coursework help to our clients. The texts in the paper must be in the times new roman 12 point font size or any font type as instructed by your professor. In any case, the font size must not be less than 10. The standard margin is 1 1/4 inches unless your instructor states otherwise. The first page of the text must start with the title of the asa paper. This should come after the title page and the abstracts. The entire text should be organized with several subheadings. Use only three different headings so as to simplify the paper and make it more decent. The first level heads of our asa scholarship essay examples are all capitalized and left-justified. They do not come with bold fonts and the headings are not similar to the introduction. For instance "THE FIRST LEVEL HEAD". The second level head should be italicized and left-justified. They should not come with bold fonts, but they must come with title case for instance "The Second-Level Head". The third level head in an asa paper should come with italics and in left justify, but not with bold fonts and only the first word of the head should be capitalized, for example "The second level head".
Whenever you are in need of essay help services, you must avoid the mistake of going for every service around you. The top essay writing companies have lots of things that differentiate them from the low-level writers, and those are the things that determine your grade. For instance, every asa paper must come with a title page, and top writing companies observe this. The title page must have the full title of the work followed by the name of the author and the institution. A complete word count of the entire document comes after. When you are dealing with a work by many authors, endeavor to list the full names in a vertical format. However, if there is a particular author who is supposed to receive correspondences about the work, the author's name should be listed in a footnote at the title page.
You should include an abstract in your case study to enlighten the readers. This must come on a separate page, and it must be placed just after the title page. The title of the document should be the heading. The abstract page should not have the name of the author and it must not be more than one paragraph long. It should be 150-200 words in length. There is a very good practice in asa paper which you should also imbibe. About three to five keywords to help in identifying the main themes in the paper should be included in the same page with the abstract.
The best research paper writers will always tell you how important the endnote and footnotes are to academic works. This is why we ensure that our works have them. They are the tools that will always simplify the work and make it easy for readers to engage in further reading on the topics and ideas raised in the work. When you need to expand on the text, cite materials that are rare or to add to the information given in a table or figure, the endnote or footnotes are the perfect tools for this. You shouldn't use both at the same time. In extreme cases, footnotes can be used for the title page and the tables, while the endnote is used for the rest of the text in the paper. The footnotes come at the bottom of each page with a referenced work, while the endnote comes at the end of the work in the back matter. Whichever one you choose to use among the two must be numbered consecutively with the Arabic numerals. The pagination in asa paper stipulates that the pages should be numbered in a consecutive manner with Arabic numerals from the title page down to the references or the last page.
Asa has specific methods for citing sources in the text. You can get a very comprehensive guide on asa citations from us. We also offer the best book report ideas to college students. The paper requires that all information given in the text must receive due credit. This is irrespective of whether it is a direct quote or paraphrase. The general citation demands that you offer the author's last name in full, the year of publication of the source and the page number in parenthesis, all directly after the paraphrase or quote. However, if the author's name is given as part of the sentence itself, the year must come in parenthesis immediately after the name of the author. Quotes with more than 40 words in asa paper should come in indented paragraphs without quotation marks. The last period in the block quotation is followed by the author's name, date, and page number. If the "P" in "page" is standing alone, then it must be capitalized without the name of the author and the year of publication. The sources must be listed alphabetically according to the last name of the authors. The titles of books, magazines and journals must be in italics and the titles of articles and other works must be quoted. All entries must be in a hanging indent, with the first lines remaining flush with the left margin, and the last lines having 5 times indentation to the right.

The flavor of your steak can very much come down to the quality and cut of your meat, but one way to help pack in even more punch is to create your very own marinade.
Marinades are simple to make, and can be easily played with to make them as strong, spicy or sweet as you like.
Check out my favorite sirloin steak marinade recipes below, and if you're feeling lazy or pressed for time then be sure to check out my top 5 ready-made marinades further down the page.
Salt and Pepper Steak Rub by Canadian Living Unlike everything else on this list, this recipe isn't sauce-based but rubs are still powerful in flavor and will save you time if you're not wanting to soak your steak in a marinade for a day prior to grilling.
Best Steak Marinade in Existence by Stephanie at Plain Chicken A bold title but it's certainly not far off the truth! As Stephanie says, it's not made from any crazy ingredients but still manages to be full of flavor.
Mustard and Red Wine Vinegar Steak Marinade by Natalie at Blackbird Ideas Natalie has adapted a great recipe to suit those of you wanting to create a great-tasting marinade while not going all out on the spending front. While her recipe is based around flank or skirt steaks, mixing it up with sirloin should work a treat for you. The marinade is made up of ingredients that you should have lying around or can pick up easily. Frankly, as soon as I saw Dijon mustard I was on board!
Dead East Steak Marinade by Alexandra at Alexandra's Kitchen Making it really simple yet delicious, Alexandra's recipe essentially contains just three ingredients, and is great to have when you're running short on supplies in your cooking arsenal.
The Perfect Steak Marinade by Ian at tasteofBBQ Ian knows his stuff when it comes to BBQ and steaks (his site is full of useful information for you steak lovers). If you like your mustard to be laid on a bit more generously, then this is the marinade for you.
Ready-made Sirloin Steak Marinades
If you're pushed for time and wanting to have something ready-made at hand to soak your steak in, then these five marinades below should help you find the ideal steak marinade for grilling.
Mr Yoshida's Gourmet Savory Marinade A little bit dear so definitely not for everyone, but its sweet flavor is very popular and can be used for a whole range of purpose, not just a sirloin steak marinade.
Claude's BBQ Brisket Marinade Yes it does say brisket marinade, but it still works great on sirloin as well as flank.
Goya Mojo Criollo Marinade For fans of lemon marinade, this packs a tangy flavor and will put an interesting twist on your steak.
Allegro Original Marinade Gluten-free and quick, this marinade is praised for its flavor.
Mr Spice Steak Marinade Much like the Allegro above, this is great for the health-conscious of you with its low salt content and organic ingredients. Thankfully, this does not mean a compromise in taste.
