Kittencal's Beef or Pork Marinade and Tenderizer
By: KITTENCAL
Nov 5, 2003
This is a teriyaki style marinade ---who ever said that marinades are only for flavor and not tenderizing has never tried this recipe! this marinade produces the most fabulous tasting beef and pork and tenderizes like nothing you have ever had before! I developed this recipe almost 20 years ago and still use it to this day, this works fabulous on a London Broil, it makes the best kabobs and pork tenderloins!--- the longer the meat marinades the more tender and juicy it will be, so plan ahead the meat needs to stay in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours to 24 hours (even better if left for 24 hours!) the amounts listed are enough for 2 pounds beef or pork so you might want to double or even triple the ingredients, if I am doubling or tripling I usually cut back on the soy sauce and still only use 2-3 tablespoons fresh garlic, you can add in 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder also, the powdered meat tenderizer is only optional you do not have to use it this works great even without it! don't forget to allow the meat to come down to almost room temperature before cooking, this will relax the meat fibers and create a more tender meat --- DO NOT substitute the honey for anything else but pure maple syrup, if possible use honey it will work the best!
2 pounds meat
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar or cider vinegar
- 3/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder (if you prefer a stronger ginger flavor then add in more)
- 4 tablespoons liquid honey (or 4 tablespoons maple syrup, DO NOT substitute brown sugar or white sugar or pancake syrup)
- 3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons powdered meat tenderizer (optional)
Directions
1
In a large bowl combine all ingredients except the meat; mix/whisk until very well combined.2
You may now transfer the marinade to a large resealable plastic bag if desired or leave in a large bowl.3
Pierce the meat all over with a fork.4
Add the meat to the marinade then turn to coat.5
Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.6
Remove meat and discard the marinade.7
Leave the beef or the pork sit out on the counter and bring almost room temperature, this will relax the meat fibers and make for a more tender juicy steak or cut of beef or pork (this is a very important step!).8
Grill or oven-broil to desired doneness.

Oh so good! I made this for a dinner with our nieghbors and it turned out fabulous! The chops sat in the marinade for over 24 hours so they were extra tender. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing! I will definitely make this one again.

I don't eat beef so my rating comes via the people who ate it...this marinade worked great and was tasty. Great for grilling as it helps keep the meat from sticking to the grill and carmelized the meat to perfection.

Hey, Kittencal! This combination of flavors is outstanding and I thank you for sharing. I love to marinate and your recipe made our top sirloin super flavorful and tender. Still wondering though about what makes it so special. Perhaps the ginger? At any rate, I can hardly wait to use it again. With gratitude, E.
