2 LBs skirt steak
1 ½ cups Oregon Berries frozen Marionberries, thawed and drained (or fresh)
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
¼ cup honey
1 Tablespoon lime juice
½ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup fresh blackberries, halved
2 serrano peppers, seeded and minced
¼ cup chopped red onion
½ cup chopped, seeded tomato
1 teaspoon freshly chopped cilantro

Step 1
Add blackberries, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth.
