ULTIMATE EASY MARINADE



Ultimate Easy Marinade image

You'll have them begging for more with this quick and easy marinade. Make copies of the recipe. Everyone you "treat" will ask for it!

Provided by Gerald Norman

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Italian dressing
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons garlic pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon meat tenderizer
2 lbs pork chops or 2 lbs boneless chicken

Steps:

  • Tenderize meat with fork.
  • Cover completely with marinade in stainless steel bowl or ziplock baggie.
  • Refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Grill over medium heat.

Tips for Making the Ultimate Easy Marinade:

  • Use a variety of liquids. Different liquids can add different flavors to your marinade, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some popular options include olive oil, vinegar, yogurt, soy sauce, and citrus juices.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of your marinade and give your meat a more complex flavor profile. Some popular options include garlic, onion, rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, and chili powder.
  • Let your meat marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer you marinate your meat, the more time it will have to absorb the flavors of the marinade. For best results, marinate your meat for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a covered container. When you are marinating your meat, be sure to use a covered container. This will help to keep the marinade from evaporating and will also help to prevent bacteria from growing.
  • Don't overcook your meat. Overcooked meat is tough and dry, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook your meat to the desired doneness, and then let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Making a marinade is a great way to add flavor and moisture to your meat. By following these tips, you can create the ultimate easy marinade that will make your meat taste delicious. So next time you're cooking, don't forget to marinate your meat! Your taste buds will thank you.
