FAVORITE MARINADES

[reinhard1]

i grill pretty much year around. with these temps lately more than usual. how about sharing your favorite marinades for your favorite meats or fish. it would be a good idea i think to have a thread started on this for the upcomming grilling season for our FM'rs to look to for ideas. here is one of my favorits primarily for any meat realy:

Korean marinade

1/3 cup soy sauce

3 tbls white sugar

1 tbls sesame oil

3 cloves garlic minced

1/4 of a medium yellow onion minced

2 green onions including white parts chopped up

2 tbls toasted sesame seeds

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes [optional]

2 pinches black pepper

1 tsp fresh ginger finely minced

put all ingrediants in a bowl and mix well. put meat in a container for marinating or vacume bag and pour marinade on the meat. i usualy put the marinade with the meat the night before i grill in the fridge. i would suggest at least 4 hours to let the flavors blend. good luck.

I'll add the one I use the most. It's super easy, and tastes great.

Steak So God You'll Wanna Slap Your Granny

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup A-1 steak sauce

3 Tbls. McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak seasoning

Some fresh minced garlic and onion is nice too

[Chef]

1/2 C. Balsamic Vinegar

1/4 C. Dijon Mustard

1/4 C. Honey or brown sugar

1TBsp. Chopped Garlic or to taste

1tsp. black pepper

1Tbsp. freshly chopped Rosemary (don't skimp and use dried)

optional--1-tsp. red pepper flakes for some heat.

You can use this marinade for any Red Meat (Lamb/Beef and Wild Game--especially Sharptail Grouse which is red meat.

Those are all great marinades and I've used variations of them all. For me the best flavor comes from the steak it's self so I like to grill the steak to 120 degrees and the spread on a vinaigrette salad dressing. Let that cook down on the steak for a minute and then flip it with the tongs and spread some on the other side. Then check the temp and bring it up to 130 if I'm feeling rare or 140 if I'm feeling Medium or for the Misses up to 160 for well. I seem to get better flavor this way. Also the choices for salad dressing are almost infinite now. I like the Asian or Italian Basil that are on the market now. Also no Black Angus beef for this boy only Hereford or better yet Polled Hereford And only on a well seasoned charcoal grill. Now I'm hungry for steak!!!

great stuff so far. here is one for chicken. i reserve some of this for brushing on during the grilling time. this is basicly for one whole chicken cut in parts.

1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

3/4 cups soy sauce

1/2 cup worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 cup lemon juice

2 tbls dry mustard

1 tsp salt

1 tbls black pepper

1 1/2 finely minced fresh parsley

mix all ingrediants well. the longer you marinade the more flavor it will have. true for all marinades. good luck.
