OK GENERAL, IT ALL DEPENDS WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO MARINATE. WHAT CUT OF MEAT THAT IS.
SKIRT STEAKS...SOY SAUCE, FRESH GARLIC, HONEY AND OLIVE OIL
FILETS JUST GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL
ANY TOUGH CUT OF MEAT OR LOW GRADE OF MEAT A GOOD MARINADE IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT IS ORANGE JUICE OR PAPYA JUICE IT WILL BREAK DOWN ALL THE MUSCLE IN THE MEAT AND MAKE IT TENDER. AND IT WILL NOT PICK UP THE SWEET TASTE.
HOPE THIS HELPS.................G.
