Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh lime juice
6 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

Ancho Chili Sauce

3 dried ancho chilies, stemmed, seeded, torn into pieces
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons (packed) brown sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Place chilies in medium metal bowl. Pour enough boiling
water over chilies to cover. Let stand until chilies
are soft, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup
soaking liquid.

Puree chilies, 3 tablespoons soaking liquid and lime
juice in blender until smooth. Transfer to small bowl.
Whisk in mayonnaise, brown sugar, oregano, rosemary
and cumin. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can
be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring
to room temperature before using, adding water by tablespoonfuls
and stirring if very thick.)
