Marinating Steak & Roasts
You can create your own marinating recipe.
The following chart has all that you can need to mix and match. Some cuts that require tenderizing are: round steak, rump, cross rib, blade, short ribs and flank steak. Seasonings are mixed with acids such as fruit juice, vinegar, wine, and beer.
The acids needs to penetrate the meat. Piercing with a fork or making slashes help them penetrate the roast or steak.
Some Helpful Hints: - Choose a small shallow bowl so marinade covers meat.
- Turn the meat occasionally to expose all areas to the marinade.
- Always cover and refrigerate.
- Drain meat on toweling before cooking to remove excess oil.
- Thawing the meat in a marinade is a possibility. It takes longer to tenderize but theres less loss of meat juices.
- Marinade the required time: 3 6 hours for cubes and strips. 12 24 hours for steaks and roasts.
