My husband is a retired butcher and I am certified in Culinary Arts. Marinades are expensive. Try soaking your beef steak or roast in Cola or Dr. Thunder from Walmart. Cover for 24 hrs. Then season and cook.
I'm looking for a recipe my mom had found in the late 60s or early 70s that was a marinade for a chuck roast to be grilled. What I remember about it is that I think it uses an orange colored bottled sauce as a base, (Heinz steak sauce?), and the chuck roast was put with the marinade in a container and left over night. The next day it was take out and put on the grill.
Whatever was in it tenderized the chuck and gave it a wonderful flavor, and the grill glazed it nicely. It was a family favorite for a number of years while we were still at home. I had asked mom about it before she passed a couple of years ago, she remembered it, but didn't remember the recipe. We lived in southern Ohio at the time.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Maybe she marinated it in Catalina salad dressing?
Pittsburgher here! Heinz 57 sauce I bet! Yum!!!
Back then Heinz was very popular and people were using this for almost everything they cook. I bet you that she just used this sauce right out of the bottle and put it in the meat overnight. If you are interested in some good marinade sauces they have so many delicious ones online these days.
You can use a less expensive cut of meat with a tenderizing marinade, to create a delicious main dish. This is a page about tough meat marinade.
I love making marinades! Not only do they give meat flavor but also tenderizes meat. You can do this on shopping day before you freeze all your meat, using heavy duty freezer bags.
Add a delicious oriental flavor to your meat or veggies before putting them on the grill. This page contains teriyaki marinade recipes.
This recipe is excellent to use to marinate beef, chicken, fish and pork.
I am on a cilantro kick this summer and just tried this. I love it as a marinade for grilling kabobs, but it doesn't need to be used only for kabobs!
This is super easy. A friend told me that if you marinate your poultry/pork/beef etc in ginger ale, not only will you have a tasty result but it also tenderizes even the most tough bargain cuts of meat.
My Papa (Grampa) came here from Niceon, Greece. Lots of foods he taught my Grama to cook had a citrus flavor. I can't afford lamb like they used but this marinade is also excellent with beef, fish, poultry or shrimp.
Whisk all ingredients together. Taste for seasoning. I use this for a light salad dressing and a meat marinade. It is quite versatile. It doubles easily.
Try this super easy marinade. It can be used for chicken, beef, or pork.
I used to make a wonderful marinade for steak with a couple of ingredients including Vegemite and Sherry. It was on a Vegemite label but I lost this recipe years ago.
Boil 8-10 large spears asparagus until crisp-tender. Cool. Peel and slice four large avocados. Arrange in 8x8 inch shallow dish. Cover with marinade and refrigerate 3-4 hours.
