THE ITALIAN DRESSING MARINADE:
Start by adding 3 tbsp of white vinegar for some twang and follow that up by adding two cups of water. I like to use distilled or bottled water for best results.
Next add half a cup of olive oil. I’m using GRAZA – which is olive oil that is actually made from olives grown in Italy. This is an Italian Dressing afterall.
After that add the juice of two lemons and follow that up with grinding up half a teaspoon of anatto seeds – aka achiote – in a molcajete and add that to the marinade.
Then take half a cup of fresh papaya, mash it up too and add it to the marinade.
And we’re not done yet – for the powders I’m using 3 tsp of sugar to balance out the salt we are going to be adding, and following that up with 2 tsp of salt, 1 tbsp black pepper and 2 tbsp of WOW! Seasonings – this was a seasoning I developed for fajitas and steaks in the first place!
And for the final set of ingredients, I added in a sprig of fresh rosemary, 2 cloves of chopped garlic, half a diced onion and half a diced red bell pepper.
Cover this up and let it marinade overnight then on to the grill we go!

visiting the hill country a lot, several people I know used italian dressing for lots of meat grilling. always worked out, gonna have to try fajitas next.
I have done grilled shrimp skewers that were marinaded in italian dressing and kickin' chicken seasoning. They were delicious! Gonna have to try this on some skirt steak one of these days…
Wow man, this looks sooooo goood! Gonna try it, y gracias, Maestro!
Made fajitas like that in 1986.
Can't believe I have never heard of this before! Definitely going to try it!
not remembering what you used last weeks marinade is very relatable jaja
I use Italian dressing on chicken breast but I usually put some garlic salt and pepper
This is an old trick. Also works as a great marinade for kebabs. Soaks into the beef, mushrooms, calabazin, and veggies. Works well for chicken, too.
Speaking as an Italian-American, all Italy really did was take all of the best things from Central and South America and add anchovies to it.
There, I said it.
ArnieTex, do you have a copycat or a similar recipe to la michoacana fajita marinade?
Cute couple making delicious food like this… I enjoy watching those chill vibes.
Big up from Paris (not Texas, but France 😂🇨🇵).

Arn I gotta tell ya, youre like the bob ross of great BBQ
Italian dressing has been my go to marinade for most of my life. I learned it from some Filipino people back in the early 90s. It's even better on pork than it is on beef.
👍👍
Keep experimenting Arnie
You make me smile when I watch you talk about food🤤
Multiple restaurants I worked at used Italian dressing to marinade chicken, this tracks
I marinate pork chops in Italian dressing overnight and cook them on my charcoal grill. I definitely need to try your recipe!
Loving your posts!
I just wanna say I love your personality brother I just can’t help but get excited when I see your recipes.
I love Mexican food it’s almost like (emphasis on almost) the combination of best of Middle Eastern and south Asian food combined❤ ❤️
I've used multiple Italian dressings as marinades. The Olive Garden dressing does a good job as well. If you're not going to add your own seasoning… go for the dressing with the highest sodium content.
Y'all are a beautiful couple. Thanks for the videos.
We used to do that sometimes out on the ranch grilling in south Texas. One bottle and some tortillas and good to go.
You guys are such a cute couple ❤
Right now I am using of cumin and lime I think the red sauce would be better on the chicken just my opinion
Arnie you need to make a cookbook ❤😊
Mom use the wishbone and soy some fresh garlic salt and pepper and on the que just the bomb
I love your videos arnie.❤❤
I wonder if it would make a difference in the strength + smoothness of flavor in your marinade if you would mix all your marinade ingredients together, let them integrate into one another overnight in the fridge (or even leave them out on your counter for awhile) THEN add your meat the NEXT day + marinade it for 24 hours?
😋😋😋😋😋
Mmmm qué rico está todo
Yes indeed!! I use the zesty Italian packet on chuck roast in the crockpot. It's so good!!
You remind me of Mario from the video game ❤❤❤
Is there any way to contact Mr. ARNIE I was trying to get a jumbo size container of WOW.
Ima try this. 🎉
Good! Good! Gooooood!
Looks delicious Arnie! Jealous!
Yep I been using Italian as a base marinade for 30+ yrs. It’s good on a bunch of meats. 👍
We have a video out on our channel of chicken marinaded in italian dressing and it is amazing. I never thought of skirt steak doing the same thing. What a great idea. Good job brother. We are making this for sure!

I'd starve to death in the south west . I can't eat tomatoes or peppers.
Arnie your son does a good job with the product side
Just last week, I marinated pork tenderloin in Italian dressing and grilled it….amazing flavor.
