Spice up steak night with this ultimate barbecue beef marinade

The robust flavours of the lemon, capers and anchovy really stand up to beef. This would work equally well with thyme or rosemary and the flames of the barbecue, helping to release the natural oils of the herbs. Makes enough for 2lb beef.
