ALL PURPOSE MARINADE/MOP/DIPPING SAUCE



All Purpose Marinade/Mop/Dipping Sauce image

This is a Chef Paul recipe. Very versatile! The marinade is great for brisket. Just reserve some, add some beer and you've got a good mop. Reserve some more, add a few ingredients and you've got a good dipping or BBQ sauce. Cooking time does not include the marinating time or the time to cook the brisket. This is primarily a recipe for the marinade.

Provided by Pokey in San Antonio

Categories     Sauces

Time 40m

Yield 15-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 -10 lbs beef brisket
1 1/2 cups beef stock, not bullion
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dried chipotle powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cumin powder
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup Bourbon
1 cup reserved marinade
6 ounces beer
balance reserved marinade
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup catsup
1 teaspoon mustard powder
5 garlic cloves (roasted)

Steps:

  • Mix everything except bourbon in a saucepan, bring to a boil, simmer afor a minute or two.
  • Cool and add the bourbon.
  • This should be enough to marinade a brisket in it's cryovac packaging. Snip off a corner of the cryovac just large enough to insert the tip of a funnel. Drain out any blood, and carefully pour the marinade inches Reseal the packaging (I use duct tape), place in a pan (just in case), and refridgerate one or two days.
  • Drain and reserve the marinade.
  • Put the brisket in the smoker. For instructions on how to smoke a brisket, see my Real Texas Brisket recipe#152445.
  • For the mop: Measure 1 cup of reserved marinade and set aside. Put the rest of the marinade in a large saucepan and boil for about 5 minutes. Cool slightly, Strain, if using a spray bottle, and add in the beer. If you strain out the solids, you can add them back to the marinade reserved for the sauce, for a little extra zip.
  • Mop every half an hour, up to every hour, as your pit requires.
  • For the sauce: Put the ingredients in a large saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer until thick. I roasted the garlic and onion in my pit while smoking the beef, added it to the sauce later, and then simmered it for another half an hour or so. Pour the sauce into the blender and process until smooth. If it's too thick, add some of the mop. Serve warm.

With just a few simple ingredients and a bit of time, you can make a versatile marinade that will add flavor and tenderness to any cut of meat or vegetables. So why not give it a try today?
All-purpose marinade recipes are ideal when it comes to enhancing the flavors of various meat and vegetable dishes. They are versatile, easy to make, and can be adjusted to suit different tastes and preferences. Whether you are preparing grilled chicken, oven-baked fish, or sautéed vegetables, a great marinade can take your dish to the next level. In this article, we will provide valuable tips to keep in mind when making all-purpose marinade recipes.

Tip 1: Choose the Right Ingredients:

One of the main advantages of an all-purpose marinade is its versatility. It can be used with different types of meat and vegetables. Therefore, it's essential to choose ingredients that will bring out the best in your dish. Some of the common ingredients to consider include citrus fruits like lemon, lime, and oranges, herbs like rosemary, thyme, and basil, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. These ingredients are readily available and can be mixed and matched to create different flavors.

Tip 2: Combine the Ingredients:

Once you have chosen the right ingredients, the next step is to mix them. It's advisable to use a blender or a mixing bowl to get the right consistency. The goal is to ensure that the ingredients blend well, thus creating a smooth texture throughout. To achieve this, chop the herbs and garlic finely and mix them with the other ingredients. This ensures that the marinade is evenly distributed, resulting in well-flavored dishes.

Tip 3: Marinate for the Right Duration:

The duration of marinating meat and vegetables is crucial when it comes to an all-purpose marinade. Marinating helps to tenderize the meat, and infuse it with flavor. The longer the duration, the more flavorful the meat or vegetables. However, it's essential to note that marinating for too long can lead to over-tenderization, resulting in a mushy texture. Therefore, it's essential to know the required time for marination. Typically, marinating meat and vegetables for 30 minutes to 24 hours is enough.

Tip 4: Consider the Type of Meat:

Different meats require different cooking methods, and as such, the marinade used should be adjusted accordingly. For instance, when it comes to beef, a highly acidic marinade is not recommended, as it can lead to toughening of the meat. On the other hand, an acidic marinade is ideal for chicken, as it helps to tenderize the meat. Therefore, it's essential to know the type of meat you are using and adjust the marinade accordingly.

Tip 5: Adjust the Flavors:

As mentioned earlier, an all-purpose marinade can be adjusted to suit different tastes and preferences. Therefore, if you are looking to make a sweeter, saltier, or spicier marinade, adjust the flavors accordingly. For instance, if you prefer a sweeter marinade, add honey or brown sugar. To make it spicier, add chili flakes or cayenne pepper. The goal is to find the right balance of flavors that will work for your dish.

Tip 6: Store Properly:

Once you have made the marinade, it's vital to store it correctly. Typically, marinades can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days. However, it's essential to ensure that the marinade is well-sealed to avoid cross-contamination. Additionally, it's advisable to keep the marinade away from other foods to prevent contamination.
Conclusion:
All-purpose marinade recipes are an excellent way to enhance the flavor of your dishes. When making a marinade, it's crucial to choose the right ingredients, combine them appropriately, marinate for the right duration, consider the type of meat, adjust the flavors, and store it properly. Follow these tips, and you'll be on your way to making delicious and flavorful dishes that will impress your guests.
