KITTENCAL'S BEEF OR PORK MARINADE AND TENDERIZER



Kittencal's Beef or Pork Marinade and Tenderizer image

This is a teriyaki style marinade ---who ever said that marinades are only for flavor and not tenderizing has never tried this recipe! this marinade produces the most fabulous tasting beef and pork and tenderizes like nothing you have ever had before! I developed this recipe almost 20 years ago and still use it to this day, this works fabulous on a London Broil, it makes the best kabobs and pork tenderloins!--- the longer the meat marinades the more tender and juicy it will be, so plan ahead the meat needs to stay in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours to 24 hours (even better if left for 24 hours!) the amounts listed are enough for 2 pounds beef or pork so you might want to double or even triple the ingredients, if I am doubling or tripling I usually cut back on the soy sauce and still only use 2-3 tablespoons fresh garlic, you can add in 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder also, the powdered meat tenderizer is only optional you do not have to use it this works great even without it! don't forget to allow the meat to come down to almost room temperature before cooking, this will relax the meat fibers and create a more tender meat --- DO NOT substitute the honey for anything else but pure maple syrup, and if possible I recommend using honey that is what works as the tenderizer

Time 10m

Yield 2 pounds meat

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup red wine vinegar or 1/4 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil or 3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 -3 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder (if you prefer a stronger ginger flavor then add in more)

3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons powdered meat tenderizer (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine all ingredients except the meat; mix/whisk until very well combined.
  • You may now transfer the marinade to a large resealable plastic bag if desired or leave in a large bowl.
  • Pierce the meat all over with a fork.
  • Add the meat to the marinade then turn to coat.
  • Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Remove meat and discard the marinade.
  • Leave the beef or the pork sit out on the counter and bring almost room temperature, this will relax the meat fibers and make for a more tender juicy steak or cut of beef or pork (this is a very important step!).

MARINATED POT ROAST



Marinated Pot Roast image

I've long used whole or ground cloves as my secret ingredient in cooking and baking. Added to an overnight marinade, they provide the gravy in this meaty main dish with great flavor. -Marijane Rea of Milwaukie, Oregon

KITTENCAL'S BEEF POT ROAST #2



Kittencal's Beef Pot Roast #2 image

I have two favorite pot roast recipes posted on this site this one requires just a little more effort as the onions and garlic are sauteed in the pot before hand --- this will also work well using a pork shoulder roast, the veggies are optional but I most always add them about the last 1-1/2 hours of cooking time, cooking time is only estimated depending on the size of your roast.

  • Remove the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

CROCK POT MARINATED POT ROAST



Crock Pot Marinated Pot Roast image

Found this in a Slow Cooker Classic's magazine. The marinade really brings out a great flavor in the meat. It comes out so tender that you won't even need a knife! You can also add potatoes and carrots in the last hour of cooking if you like. Is also great over noodles.
