My Dad until he retired was a Chef on the World Famous Las Vegas Strip. I can't cook but there are a few things I can do. I can make a mean marinade! Dad taught me how.
There are only 3 ingredients for a perfect marinade:
- Oil - I use Olive because it makes me feel Healthy.
2. An Acid - I use Vinegar mostly because it offers a lot of variety in flavors but you can use Lemons, Oranges, or Limes.
3. Aromatics - this means spices that smell good and go well together. Today I used Garlic and Rosemary.
Add these bad boys to your meat or even your veggies. I use a plastic zipper bag and then I shake it all about making sure everything gets coated. Let sit for at least 30 minutes in the fridge! Cook anyway you like. Mine will be baked...
Tonight's Dinner - Thick Cut Pork Chops baked at 350 degrees until the meat is 145 degrees internal.
Enjoy making your own Marinades and be sure to let me know how it goes...
