This was a good marinade for top sirloin on the grill. However, the recipe mentions adding sugar, but does not specify the quantity or type (brown or white). Also, it would be nice if alternatives were posted for (1) the red wine, and (2) the herbs (see "helpful hints).

There is a communication of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine is drunk. And that is my answer when people ask me: Why do you write about hunger, and not wars or love.
