Best marinade recipes
Q- I am looking for some outstanding marinade recipes. I grill all summer long and frankly, after a while it fails to impress the guys when they come over. Anyone willing to share a closely guarded recipe that will make my steak unforgettable?
A- Certainly! Cookout, grilling, barbeque, call it what you want, but a well-chosen marinade improves grilling results.
Marinades add a layer of unique flavor which compliments your meat and brings out the flavor of the cut. It infuses the meat with flavor and interest and different marinades can give the same cut a completely different effect. There is not much to dislike about marinades. Maybe that is why most people hold on to their favorite recipes sacredly.
I am all about sharing grilling excellence though, so I welcome the opportunity to share my two favorite marinades that will help you lay claim to grilling fame!
