Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 cup soy sauce

  • For this baked chicken recipe, I just covered my dish with foil and left it in the marinade, baking it at 350 for 30 minutes, or until done in the center. But don't forget that this marinade is great for grilling, too!

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.

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.

So if you're ready to take your culinary creations to the next level, here are some valuable tips to keep in mind when making all-purpose marinade/dipping sauce recipes.

Tip #1: Start with a Solid Base

No matter what kind of sauce you're making, it's essential to start with a solid base of ingredients. For marinades, this usually means a blend of acidic and fat components to help tenderize meat and infuse it with flavor. Common acidic ingredients include vinegar, citrus juice, and wine, while fat components can come from olive oil, coconut milk, or even yogurt. Dipping sauces, on the other hand, tend to be less acidic and more focused on sweetness and savory notes. In this case, a base of mayonnaise, sour cream, or cream cheese tends to work well, with added ingredients used to provide flavor and texture.
Examples of Marinade Base Ingredients:
     
  • Vinegar
  •  
  • Citrus juice
  •  
  • Wine
  •  
  • Olive oil
  •  
  • Coconut milk
  •  
  • Yogurt
Examples of Dipping Sauce Base Ingredients:
     
  • Mayonnaise
  •  
  • Sour cream
  •  
  • Cream cheese

Tip #2: Think About Flavor Profiles

Once you have your base ingredients, it's time to think about what flavor profile you want to achieve with your sauce. Do you want something spicy and tangy? Sweet and savory? Woody and smoky? Depending on your taste preferences and the types of food you will be pairing the sauce with, you may want to choose different herbs, spices, and other ingredients. For example, a classic Italian marinade might include garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes, while a spicy Asian marinade might feature ginger, soy sauce, and chili paste. Similarly, a dipping sauce for chicken tenders might combine honey, Dijon mustard, and paprika, while a sauce for fish tacos could use avocado, lime juice, and cilantro.
Examples of Flavor Profiles:
     
  • Italian: Garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes
  •  
  • Asian: Ginger, soy sauce, chili paste
  •  
  • BBQ: Smoked paprika, cumin, brown sugar
  •  
  • Sweet and Savory: Honey, mustard, paprika
  •  
  • Herbal: Basil, thyme, parsley, garlic
  •  
  • Mexican: Cumin, chili powder, lime juice, cilantro

Tip #3: Don't Be Afraid to Experiment

One of the best things about making your own marinades and dipping sauces is that you have complete control over the ingredients and can experiment to your heart's content. Don't be afraid to try out new combinations of spices or tweak a recipe to suit your tastes. Start by following a basic recipe, then adjust the flavors until they're just right. If you're making a marinade, you can also try different types of acid, fat, and sweeteners to see how they affect the final product. And remember, the more you experiment, the more you'll learn about how different ingredients work together and what flavor profiles you enjoy most.

Tip #4: Timing is Key

When using a marinade, it's important to remember that timing is key. While you may want to marinate your meat for as long as possible, too much time can actually result in tough, chewy meat. On the other hand, not enough time in the marinade can result in little to no flavor infusion. As a general rule of thumb, marinate chicken for one to two hours, fish for 30 minutes to an hour, and steak for two to four hours. When it comes to dipping sauces, timing is less of an issue, but it's still important to let the flavors meld together for at least an hour or two before serving.

Tip #5: Proper Storage is Important

To make sure your marinades/dipping sauces stay fresh and safe to eat, it's important to store them properly. In general, always keep sauces refrigerated until ready to use and use within a week of making. For marinades, be sure to discard any leftover sauce that has come into contact with raw meat. If you want to use some of the marinade as a sauce or condiment, be sure to set aside a separate portion before adding the meat.

Conclusion

By following these valuable tips, you'll be well on your way to creating delicious, all-purpose marinades and dipping sauces that will take your dishes to the next level. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or sautéing, the right sauce can turn a good meal into a great one. So grab your ingredients, get creative, and start experimenting!
