Marvelous Meat Marinade Recipes

BEST BEEF MARINADE

Steps:

• Measure all ingredients into a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
• Shake well and pour over beef to marinate.
• Marinate beef for at least two hours.
• Unused marinade can be safely stored in your refrigerator for 5-7 days.

MARVELOUS MARINADE FOR GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together all the marinade ingredients.
• Put your chicken pieces in a bowl and pour the marinade over.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, preferably longer. Overnight is good.
• Fire up the grill, set the chicken over the hot coals briefly to sear the skin, then move to indirect heat on the grill to cook until the chicken is done.
• You can poke it with a knife to check for doneness ... the juices will run clear when the chicken is done.

MARVELOUS MARINATED LONDON BROIL

Steps:

• Pour the honey into a 2-cup glass measure. Microwave the honey, uncovered, at high, 30 seconds to make it pour easily.
• Remove the measure from the microwave and add the oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic and onion powder. Whisk to blend well.
• Place the meat in a gallon-size zipper-top plastic bag. Whisk the marinade once more and pour it over the meat. Seal the bag and turn the bag several times to cover the meat with marinade. Refrigerate 8 to 24 hours, turning the bag at least once, if possible.
• Turn on a gas grill to medium high.
• Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the meat, covering the grill to the desired doneness, 7 to 10 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness. Do not overcook.
• Remove from the grill and slice across the grain. Serve at once, or let stand until ready to serve. Refrigerate leftovers, covered, up to 3 days.

MARINATED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH MERLOT SAUCE

Steps:

• In resealable food-storage plastic bag or large glass or plastic dish, place beef. In small bowl, mix remaining beef ingredients; pour over beef. Seal bag or cover dish; refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours, turning beef several times to coat with marinade.
• Heat oven to 425°F. Remove beef from marinade; discard marinade. Place beef on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of beef.
• Roast uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until thermometer reads 140°F (medium-rare doneness). Cover beef loosely with tent of foil. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes or until thermometer reads 145°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°F and beef will be easier to carve as juices set up.)
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat all sauce ingredients to boiling, stirring occasionally; reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly reduced and syrupy. Cut beef across grain at slanted angle into thin slices. Serve with sauce.
