This recipe comes from my Uncle Tommy. He used this recipe to marinate chicken kabobs and served them over yellow rice. One tip he gave me was to put a little of the marinade in a dish with the onion halves and microwave for a minute or two.

Tips:

  • Choose the right marinade: Different marinades work best with different types of meat. For example, acidic marinades (such as those made with vinegar or citrus juice) are good for tenderizing tough cuts of meat, while oil-based marinades (such as those made with olive oil or avocado oil) are good for adding flavor and moisture to leaner cuts of meat.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, spices, and citrus juices will give your marinade the best flavor. Avoid using dried herbs or spices, as they can be less flavorful.
  • Marinate for the right amount of time: The amount of time you marinate your meat will depend on the type of meat and the marinade you are using. In general, you should marinate meat for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
  • Don't overcook the meat: Overcooked meat is tough and dry. Be sure to cook the meat to the proper internal temperature, as recommended by the USDA.

Conclusion:

Marinating meat is a great way to add flavor, moisture, and tenderness to your favorite dishes. By following these tips, you can create delicious marinades that will make your meat taste even better. So next time you're grilling, roasting, or sautéing meat, be sure to marinate it first. You won't be disappointed!
