How long does a steak stay good in marinade?

Answer 1

Rule of thumb is generally 48 hours in the refrigerator. It does not take more than 8 hours to properly marinate, but anything over 48 hours is too long. After 48 hours, the salt in the marination will toughen the meat and reverse the process of meat tenderatization. This assumes you are using a non-sealed bag for marinating. If you are using a vacuum sealed container where the meat is pre-marinated, you need to check the package for an expiration date.

Answer 2

Usually, the longer the marinade soak, the more tender the tip, the BETTER the tip. As long as the meat will stay good for, you can leave it marinading in the fridge. I standardly marinade for 1 night but if i bought a lot of tips and don't wanna cook them all, ill keep them soaking for a few days. The last ones i cook are usually the best.

Answer 3

What with all the chemicals in meat today, I say no more than the next day, I dont eat meat if its been in the fridge more than 3 days

Answer 4

I would not leave it longer than 2 days total in the refrigerator and that is including the time it is being marinated.

Answer 5

For beef, up to 20 hours, for venison, up to 24 hours.
