You can transform a simple chicken, pork, or beef dinner into the ultimate flavor experience by preparing the meat with a simple marinade. By prepping a few hours in advance and letting your main dish marinate, you can infuse it with delicious flavor, tenderize, and help keep it from drying out during the cooking time. Remember these tips for an effective meat marinade.
Include an acidic ingredient: A good marinade recipe will call for an acidic ingredient like vinegar, citrus juice, or buttermilk. The acid breaks down tough fibers in the meat, helping it to tenderize and absorb more flavor.
Refrigerate: After coating the meat in marinade, cover the container and let it marinate in the fridge. Keeping the uncooked meat chilled will help prevent bacterial growth while marinating.
Turn the meat: To ensure your recipe marinates evenly, turn the meat over periodically to ensure the marinade covers all sides.
These quick tips will help you prepare meat and seafood for grilling, baking, or frying. Check out the marinade recipes below for some tasty dinner inspiration!
