All Around Marinade

Recipe #397766 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This is an excellent marinade that Matt taught me, and I modified (as I do with most of my recipes) I have used it on ribs, pork chops, steaks, and chicken. It always leaves the meat very tender... enough so that we were able to cut it with a plastic knife at a camp out with my family. This recipe can make anywhere from 2 to 6 depending on the size of the cuts of meat you are marinading!

SERVES 2 -3 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (18 ounce) bottle Italian dressing

  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar (I like to use the flavored rice vinegar or a can of beer. I have used Guinness, Miller high life, an)
  • 1 tablespoon Mrs. Dash seasoning mix, blend (you can use any of the flavors I have used most of them, whichever your prefer)
  • 1/4-1/2 cup brown sugar (alter to your taste less is bitter more is sweeter )
  • 1-2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons jalapeno juice (optional, Matt and I like spicy food)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix all of the ingredients together and marinade meat in it for a few hours
  2. 2
    I use a 1 gallon ziplock bag but you can use a bowl or a pan or whatever you like -- I personally like to make the marinade in the morning and let it marinade all day long -- the longer it marinades the more tender and flavorful the meat is --
  3. 3
    Cook meat as desired:.
  4. 4
    Bake - I suggest baking it for the majority of the time to keep the meat from drying out, and putting it on a different pan for the last few minutes without the juices to sear it and get a glazed effect.
  5. 5
    Grill - I would suggest brushing the marinade onto the meat while grilling to keep the meat from drying out to much.

I used a ranch steak which is kinda tough so I didn't really have any great expectations that anything could make this tender. Besides being tough I'm not fond of the taste of ranch steak either but I went shopping when I was hungry and this meat was on sale. I marinaded the meat for 6 hrs. and to my surprise the meat got more tender then I expected and the taste was really good except next time I'll use this marinade on a different cut of meat and not use as much brown sugar as it was just a wee to sweet for me but not bad.

    I liked this marinade a lot. It is easy and has a nice 'punch' to it. I used the jalapeno juice and I liked that too - I didn't find it to be too hot. I only had 2 hours to marinate, so I scored the sirloin steaks and they absorbed the marinade nicely. I also used the full amount of brown sugar and it wasn't too sweet. Very nice! Made for TYM tag game. Thanks Matts Lotus!
