Great Marinading Tips for Grilling

Post on Jun 18th 2008

One of the key secrets to having great tasting BBQ dishes is in the marinade. So how do you create the right marinade for your grilling session?

More seasoned grilling chefs may have their own blends and styles when it comes to marinading. However the basic components of a good marinade consists of 3 core parts.

The first part contains an acid component: lemon juice, lime, vinegar

The second part consists of an oil: sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, etc

The third part of a marinade consists of seasoning: salt & pepper, onion, rosemary, cayenne, and others

By having your key ingredients in place for all the different components of your marinade before hand, you will save lots of trouble later on in digging for these ingredients as you are grilling (which will leave many unhappy campers waiting on you).

By having a healthy mixture of all the ingredients on hand, you will also have much greater flexibility in terms of changing things up a bit in real time when you are actually doing the grilling. Every one has different tastes and so with those various ingredients on hand you can mix and match to your liking as long as those 3 components are fulfilled to some extent.
