What ingredients increase the acidity of marinades?
you could use wine, which is my fav choice. But, if you want to take a non-alchohol approach try chicken or beef broth, yogurt or cranberry. You could also try using corn, plums or cranberries!
A marinade is a liquid that contains ingredients that both add flavor to meat and tenderize it. Food is soaked in the marinade and absorbs the flavor and is softened. Marinades are used when cooking meats like steak, because people prefer steak to be tender when they eat it.

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.
