Red-wine marinade for beef

Here's a good, basic marinade that goes well with beef. Perfect to when you want to cook a few steaks on the barbecue.

Red-wine marinade for beef

200 ml red wine
100 ml water
50 ml red wine vinegar
50 ml oil (I use canola)
1/2 tsp dried thyme
few sprigs of fresh rosemary
3-4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Mix all ingredients together, and marinate beef for at least a few hours. This makes enough for about 1 kg of meat.
