Kabob Marinades

[Ralph Wiggum]

I'm doing some kabobs this weekend (beef, onion, bell pepper, mushroom, etc). Looking for some new ideas for marinades. I'll be using sirloin tails for meat.

Thanks!

check out the korean bbq beef thread - click here. Marinade your sirloin in that and you will love it. good luck.

If you like a oriental flavor it is a great marinade but if you go longer then 24 hours the meat will start to break down more then what you would want.

We do about 100 Kabobs at our annual game feed using venison. Orange juice and milk is our traditional marinade. I don't know who came with that (been using it for years) and it sounds yucky, but it works great for us.

i really really like carribean jerk marinade from lawrys. boring and pre-made, but really good. i thought it was great on kabobs.

i hear ya, but that meat is long gone devoured by then. i told my two daughters about the cucumber kimchi recipe [they are both half korean] and are waiting for me to make some. fortunatly there is a small farm near my house that sell the perfect size cukes for it. thanks for doing that computer thing to get access to the korean marinade. i have a lot to learn. good luck.

Italian dressing...fantastic. I leave it in for about two days. Look for the lowfat/fat free kind. It is thicker and will stay on the meat during cooking as opposed to the regular stuff.

Buy which ever kind has the most herbs and garlic floating in it. Cube your meat put it in a bag for a couple days with the dressing.

I'm gonna give the korean BBQ beef a shot.

Second the Italian dressing idea. Used to work at a grocery store and tha's what we used. People would ask what it was and we would always tell them it's the meat cutter's secret recipe...then tell them the truth.

A company called Urban Accents makes some great stuff. Check'em out.

I also use Italian dressing. Just made some the other day and I am craving more.

I found a recipe in a book that I use all the time.

1/4 cup veg. oil

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 pkg. lipton onion soup mix

mix all together and add your meatand let merinade. I merinade for at least 1 hour.

I have used this merinade on venison, chicken, and beef.

[reinhard1]

sounds like a good one. i'll give anything a try once. the korean marinade so far is no. 1. variety is the spice of life. good luck.

Try this one. It will do about #4 of meat, so adjust if needed.

1 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup sesame oil

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon Sriracha or Tabasco sauce

6 cloves garlic, pressed, crushed, or minced

4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger

1/2 small onion (about 1/4 cup), chopped coarsely

Marinate overnight.

[reinhard1]

hey andover! of all the cooking i do i have never used sriracha. something that gives some heat always interests me. where in andover can i find some? good luck.

[hoggs222]

You should be able to find Sri Racha at any grocery store, in the asian section. County Market has it in the Ethnic Aisle, by the asian foods. It's in a clear plastic bottle with a rooster on it in white. Bottle will be red, because it's clear.

Do a google image search for it, so you know what you're looking for.
