BBQ Tips, Recipes and Articles

Cooking meat is almost an art form for many people and they take great pleasure in discovering new marinades . A steak marinade is a sauce that a steak is soaked in or basted in during the cooking process. There are marinades for all types of meat and fish that can be purchased from the merchants we suggest. Each type of meat or fish may have many different flavors they can be marinated in. A steak marinade may be spicy or garlic or a combination of these and other things. It is all a matter of personal taste. It is not uncommon for a commercial marinade to be used as a base for the private recipe of a home cook. They may add their own seasoning to a basic taste they already enjoy.

There are a few hints to using marinades that may help in the final taste. If you are using a steak marinade you may want to puncture the surface of the meat before you soak it to allow the marinade flavor to pass more easily to the meat within. This will add to the flavor all the way through the meat and not just on the surface that is exposed to the soaking. The meat will absorb the marinade liquid especially if it is left in it over night. You need to plan ahead with most marinades.
