The marinade works well. I only had smoked chipotle pepper powder & used that in place of the paste. Worked out just fine.
Made this tonight. Had tenderloin tips from D’Artagnan in the freezer. This was so delicious. Spicy, but not too spicy. We commented several times during dinner just how delicious the marinade was for the meat. Did not have chicken stock so the sauce was more chopped herbs and butter.
Very tasty. Added veggies on skewers zucchini onions red peppers and hanger steak.
