How to Make Your Own Barbecue Marinades

Attempting to come up with your own private unique flavors when preparing food on the grill is a target of many backyard barbecue grill owners. Marinades may be used to add flavoring to meat and can be used for tenderizing needs. Beef particularly responds properly to marinades, and truth be told, doesn't create such a mess on your fingers and the front of your shirt as most barbecue sauces.

You will discover diverse flavored marinades on the grocery shelves or you can use the traditional stand-by and use salad dressing. Italian dressing is perfect for most cuts of beef but not everyone appreciates the taste. One of the strategies of using marinades, either your own personal recipe or one of the mixtures from the grocery, is how long you let the meat drink up the flavor before placing it on the grill. Here's one homemade marinade recipe that can improve the flavor.

You'll need a one-quart jar, with a lid that seals. Combine these ingredients, in order:
1-1/2 cups vegetable oil
¾ cup soy sauce
½ cup white wine vinegar
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
Be sure to shake this mixture well until it is well combined, then put in:
2 tablespoons ground mustard
2 teaspoons of salt
1 tablespoon of ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 tablespoons ground cloves

Start to shake very well until every component is mixed in entirely. You can then work with a large bowl, with a lid in which to soak the meat, or a plastic storage bag that closes shut.

Put the meat in the container and let it sit for three days. If you use a bowl, you need to baste the meat everyday. In fact, two times a day is better. If you utilize the storage bag, flip the bag over twice daily until you are going to barbecue.
