Hi , for chicken I use a simple way I just put smatched garlics and inside the chicken , salt, pepper, some honey, a little bit of apple s vinager or any other vinegar and leave it all night long. For beef: I do almost the same , I just add intead of the vinegar some sweet orange with some vinegar, and add some pineapple in pieces. (the pineapple is going to soft the beef meat) . leave it all night long. Then u can cook it or bake it the way u want to. Good luck.

Good Morning, MaryLynn! My understanding there are two key reasons for marinades, one to impart flavour..and two, to tenderize! Imparting flavour, the world is your oyster, anything you mix up and tastes good! But when it comes to tenderizing, citrus and or spirits both contain acids which break down the fibres! One of the greatest tenderizers is Papaya (papain) and it is one of the key ingredients in Meat Tenderizers that you can buy already prepared! I try to avoid MSG, and often it is included in the commercial meat tenderizers...but if Papaya is NOT prohibitively expensive in your area..puree it and use in your concoction!

The only time I have marinated meat was when someone gave me deer meat....And I am not fond of it. I bought a package of seasoning and mixed it with other ingredience but right now I can't remember what...It totally changed the taste of the meat and the kids even liked it!

I normally use garlic, lime/lemon juice sometimes I add a bit of zest as well and then I'll add a bit soy sauce and a little bit of brown sugar, but if I use sweet soy sauce I don't add sugar and then salt and pepper! I normally marinate beef/chicken for few hours.

Hello MaryLynn321, I use simple ingredients like Italian Dressing, Mustard, Lemon Juice just to name a few. It's really not a big deal like some people make it out to be, or at least I don't think so. But try some of the ingredients that you already have. You will be surprised.

I use this too with a few herbs added.

Depending on what you want to do I use mushroom soup mixed with a can of water to my pork roasts. Beef roasts I add a package of Au Jus with 2 cups of water mixed in, Then to get away from the humdrum of just eating a burger I get the package of onion soup and mix in well with the hamburger. When I make Tilapia fish they get marinated in honey,lemon,and butter melted in saucepan and pour over the fish, or brush on place fish in broiler for 2 minutes bring out and turn and marinate place back in broiler 2 min marinate again as turning and back in oven for 2 minutes and you have dinner. If you like fish try this tilapia. Its become my favorite white type fish with a wonderful flavor most walmarts carry it in the freezer individually wrapped either in a bag or box for more fish at lesser price. WE just had fried catfish night before last i had gotten from Walmart. Since they removed their fresh fish area Which I really miss.
