TANGY BEEF OR PORK MARINADE
I created this recipe by fooling around with some ingredients. The result is a wonderful tangy marinade with a bit of a kick that I use on steaks, pork chops, roast pork and even deer meat. This is especially good for a tough cut of meat. I frequently use this for london broil and marinate overnight. If I use for a pork roast, I add more maple syrup to make it sweeter and then baste the pork roast with it when it is cooking in the oven. ETA: You can also use Agave nectar in place of honey or maple syrup as a low glycemic option.

Tips:
- Use a variety of flavors in your marinade. This will help to create a more complex and flavorful dish. Some good flavor combinations to try include: soy sauce and garlic, ginger and honey, or orange juice and rosemary.
- Let your meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat.
- If you are using a acidic marinade, such as one that contains citrus juice or vinegar, be sure to add some oil to the marinade as well. This will help to prevent the acid from toughening the meat.
- When you are ready to cook the meat, be sure to drain off the marinade. This will help to prevent the marinade from burning and smoking.
- Cook the meat over medium heat so that it has a chance to cook through without burning.

Marinating meat is a great way to add flavor and tenderness to your dishes. By following the tips above, you can create delicious and flavorful marinated meat dishes that your family and friends will love.
