Excellent marinade, very close or even exactly like Alamo Cafe. Haven't tried with beef yet, but chicken comes out full of flavor and exceptionally moist and tender, even if you over cook it a little. I've used several marinades very close to this in taste (w/o the butter), but none came out as moist or tasty - I'd never have thought of using butter/margarine as a "secret ingredient". The only difficulty with this marinade is also - surprise - the margarine, which solidifies as it cools and makes it a little hard to do this as a traditional "soak" marinade, which I prefer in order to get the most flavor out of it, though as pointed out it doesn't need long to marinate, 30-60 min is plenty good.
I recommend using a "Jaccard" (or a fork) to stab holes in the meat beforehand to help let the marinade soak into the meat. I'd also recommend substituting vinegar for one Tablespoon of the water (I use rice vinegar), helps balance the taste a little better.
