How long does beef stay fresh when marinating?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In a covered container in a cold fridge, covered in marinade, depending on the marinade anywhere from 3 days to over a week, as long as it is stirred.

It seems to be an oxymoron to call marinated beef 'fresh'. Depending upon the marinade, it could be adding acid, salt and/or sugar which could have some preservative properties that might allow for a longer shelf life compared to non-marinated beef.

Use a recipe from a trusted source and don't push the time table to it's limits.

Scallops have a delicate, mild flavor with minimal to no fishiness, so a subtly flavored marinade that accentuates the flavor of the scallops would be ideal. Flavors that pair well with scallops in a marinade or sauce are:

White wine

Butter

Garlic/Onion

Mushroom (esp. mildly brothy e.g. oyster, king trumpet, shimeji, enokitake, etc.)

Lemon or Lime

Light herbs (e.g. chervil, parsley, sage, etc.)

Soy sauce

Ginger

Along the same line, flavors that would overpower or drown out scallops would include:

Red wine

Heavy spices (e.g. cumin, cinnamon, etc.)

Tomato

Nut butters

Vinegars

What is basting and a example?

Basting means to pour meat juices over a joint of meat whilst it is roasting.

An example would be a roast rib of beef, as the meat roasts the juice and fat from the meat collects in the roasting pan.

Spoon the liquid over the joint several times during the roasting process. This keeps the meat moist.

Is marinating chicken ok to be left out of fridge?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Raw chicken should never be left at room temperature. Once it's cooked it's safer; if the party lasted only a couple of hours it's probably fine. On the other hand, if you started at 8 and went to four in the morning, throw it out.

How do you marinate garlic cloves?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer:I remember my grandmother would put hers in a piece of pantyhose or stocking and hang it in the basement in a dark corner. She did the same with her vidalia onions and both kept longer. I don't know if the stocking part is important or if it was just handy. Answer:Garlic should be stored in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. The worst place to store garlic is in a refrigerator or freezer which promote sprouting and destroy the flavor and texture of garlic. Most commercial varieties (California early and late) will last 4-12 months.

If you want it to fully soak in I recommend at least 24 hours.

I have an additional technique I sometimes use. Where I'll marinade for 24 hours in the fridge, then freeze the meat without the marinade. Then make a fresh batch of marinade. Take the steak out of the freezer and put into the new marinade as it thaws for 48 hours.

Does marinating chicken delay the proces from chicken to go bad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, spices help to prevent food from going bad. That's why they are more common in warmer climats. It also depends on what in particular you are using for a marinade. Salt, sugar and acids (vinegar) can all be preservatives. Even with the best marinades, however, you will only be buying small amounts of time, maybe a few days, not weeks or months. Either way, your best bet to avoid foodborn illness is to buy fresh, freeze what you don't need immediately and cook the chicken fully as soon as possible. a good marinade may help to extend life in the fridge, but it is no substitute for good food safety practises.
