Best Marinade In Existence, which tenderize and adds flavor to most meats, poultry and more.  Truly the best steak marinade for one !

Best Marinade in Existence

A Pinterest pin I tried, tested and was very happy with!

This is absolutely the best Marinade in Existence. No store-bought ( or any of my current homemade marinades ) come even close to this marinade.

I forgot about posting this even though I promised I’ll do so many weeks ago.

Well, here we are and I hope you will add this to your homemade collection as well – so worth it !

You have to try this Marinade ! It really is the Best Marinade in Existence !

Anyhow, this is the way I like my steak done – medium, but well done on the edges (try explain that to your waiter in a restaurant..).

I never bother to make large batches, as this Marinade takes only minutes to make, and it contains all standard, everyday pantry ingredients.

This way I can also make a single batch, double or even more, depending on how much meat we want to cook on a specific day.

Using this Marinade turns out the meat (whether cooked on the barbecue, oven or pan-fry), tender and juicy, each and every time.

I always have to share the recipe with all our family and friends when we have them over for a barbecue or dinner !

Cooked to perfection and ready to be served

Update:

Over time we have used the Marinade not only with most red meats, but it is also very good with chicken and pork.

My daughter also marinated a pork roast (for a special dinner) and they loved it !

She did however, marinated the roast over night as she had a busy day ahead.

Every now and then she turned over the marinade container. And then she cooked the roast, using her rotisserie gadget in her oven. Below the roast she had a dish with plain, lightly salted potatoes into which the juices from the roast dripped.

Hearing about how fantastic her pork roast turned out, I just had to try it, also with the potatoes in a separate dish below the roast. Absolutely amazing !

    That steak looks DELICIOUS! It looks like it turned out perfect. I don't order steak much, but when I do I want it cooked similar to your preferences–medium on the inside, but more cooked on the outside.

  2. Carole

    Thaks for linking this in Linda. Hope you are having a good week.

    Hi Linda I was pinning this for my Marinades and Rubs board and decided to Stumble it for you – you may see a spike in page views – hopefully. Cheers

    Thank you,I didnt have a marinate for steak!?

  5. flgirl

    I used this marinade recipe on chicken today. The title is true, this is the best marinade recipe. Have you tried it on pork?

    • Linda Nortje

      I am glad you liked the way your chicken turned out ! My daughter used the marinade on a Pork roast a few weeks ago and they loved it (She did however marinate the Pork for 24 hours, turning every couple of hours) Let me know if you try the marinade on Pork 🙂 Thank you for your positive feedback !

  6. Lisa

    Not a bad marinade, a little to lemony for me.

  7. Allen

    Loved the marinade on chicken breast, and will try other meats as well.

  8. Shawnee

    I made the steaks tonight with the marinade it smelled so good can’t wait to eat dinner.

    Ive been using this marinade for well over a year, i dont even have to look it, i know the ingredients and amounts. For the one person that thought it to lemony (which a agree for beef or venison) substitute vinegar, white, rice, apple cider or even balsamic. Love the lemon for chicken though. You definately need the acidity to start breaking down the meat! Im getting ready to marinate a 3 lb london broil for tomorrow, yes 24 hours is fine, especially with a thick cut. Ive let it go 2 days for tough stew beef for kabobs and it was perfect! Throw the mushrooms in marinade last hour and they will soak it up, gives them more flavor and it softens them so they dont split will skewering them.

    • Linda Nortje

      Thank you, Ken for all the substitution advice ! I agree, the Lemon is a definite must for chicken. Enjoy your London Broil today !

    Would this be good on deer steaks?

    • Linda Nortje

      Hi Terri, to be honest I have never had deer meat (any type). If you do try the marinade on deer steaks, would you be kind enough as to let me know how it turns out as I am sure other readers might also be interested ?

    Do you think this would work for bison? Very lean and dries out easily.

    • Linda Nortje

      Hi there, I had to look up what bison is as I have never had this type of meat before and stumbled upon an article from Northfork. I do think this marinade would be just fine to use, but you can also read Northfork’s article >>> HERE

    I’m making a big jar ive had it twice now and both times melt in your mouth delicious love love it best yet today I’m trying with lamb chops thankyou heaps

    • Linda Nortje

      I am glad you love the marinade ! Enjoy your lamb chops 🙂 (I have marinated lamb chops several times and it turns out juicy delicious)

  13. Lady J

    pineapple juice as a substitute for lemon is great on beef as well

  14. Julianne

    Do I still cook my steaks as normal with a good amount of butter in my cast iron? Stumbled on a Pinterest pin.

    • Linda Nortje

      Julianne, after marinating, I still cook the meat (various methods) the same as before. I have however never cooked steak in butter before, but we normally do steaks over the coals (straight after marinating) or we use our George Foreman, the side which presses (sprayed lightly with cooking oil)
