125 Questions
What are the meat ingredients to be used in marinade?
Well... what is a "usual"marinade? A marinade can be made from anything, depending what meat you're using and what flavours you like. The aim is to infuse the meat with flavour prior to cooking, but sometimes a benefit is that the meat will be more juicy.
I find it's good to use something acidic for the base liquid - either malt or cider vinegar, lemon or lime juice, or wine. This seems to work the flavours into the meat better. Then just add whatever herbs and spices you're into! Try not to add too many, you'll overcomplicate it. If you're not a pro at mixing herbs and spices, it's best to start off with ready-made mixes, such as jerk, harissa, cajun, garam massala spices, or Italian or british herb mixes.
If, for example, you're doing chicken for the bbq, you might like to use a composition of something similar to the following:
- cider vinegar
- tomato ketchup
- chili sauce
- salt, pepper
- jerk seasoning
Have a look around on the internet. There are some good marinades out there, but as with all recipes, they are best used for IDEAS, not made exactly.

How do you marinade sirloin tips?
Marinade is savory to enrich the flavor of food and acidic to tenderize meat. The acidic ingredients are usually vinegar, lemon juice, or wine, flavored with herbs or spices. Red meat marinades may or may not contain oil, because the meat usually contains adequate fat.
In marinating food, you allow it to soak or steep in the marinade to soak up the flavor and tenderize. Your marinade should be thin; if it is too thick it won't penetrate the meat as well.
The length of time to marinate food will depend on a few factors:
- If the marinade contains acid, alcohol or salt, you should marinate less than four hours.
- If the marinade contains citric juices, such as lemon or lime juice, marinate for less than two hours. Foods left marinating in acidic marinades too long can change in color and texture.
- If the marinade contains no salt, acid or alcohol, you can marinate overnight or longer.
You should never marinate in metal containers. The acid can react with the metal. Marinate in glass or plastic containers. It's best to always marinate foods in the refrigerator to avoid bacteria growth, even if the recipe says to marinate at room temperature.

Will lime in your marinade poach your chicken?
Yes, lime in your marinade can effectively poach chicken, but it’s important to use it carefully. The acidity in lime juice can start to break down the proteins in the chicken, resulting in a tender texture. However, if left too long, the acid can make the chicken mushy. It's best to marinate for a short period, typically 30 minutes to a couple of hours, to achieve optimal flavor and texture without over-tenderizing.
