How to marinate meat?
The moisture present in the proteins in the flesh of the meat is what makes the absorption of the marinade possible. The moisture is removed using salt which then allows the soaking meat to draw in the marinade to replace this. There are literally hundreds of different types of marinade, But essentially a good marinade will include:-
Oil – the foundation of the marinade
Acid – usually obtained from fresh citrus fruits and vinegar, the ratio is usually 3:1 oil to acid
Sugar – this can be granulated or come from maple syrup or honey
Salt – derived from Soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce and often blends better than just using a fine sea salt
Additional flavors – usually aromatic or dried spices or fresh garlic, onion, ginger or lemongrass
Myth busting
- The longer you marinate something, the better it will taste is a myth, if you leave the meat for hours and hours then you will begin to alter the surface of the cut
- Marinating will tenderise large cuts of tough meat is also a myth
- It is not correct that meat is just marinated before cooking, always set aside a couple of tablespoons of the marinade to spoon over the cooked dish just before serving for a tasty finishing touch
