It’s finally grilling season! That means it’s time to pick up some marinades from the best online spice shop, Old Town Spice Shop. Pack the flavor into your grilled items by marinating them. Marinating meat infuses flavor and tenderizes it, providing you with a juicy, flavor-packed bite every time.
Wet marinades are commonly made with water, oil, wine, beer, or sauces (such as soy) and a variety of spices. Additionally, they contain an acidic ingredient, such as vinegar or citrus, which breaks down some of the meat’s tissues, making it tender. Dry marinades contain all the spices without any of the liquid. If the spices aren’t sticking to the protein, you can use a binder like mustard to help it stick while providing additional flavor. Whether you’re using a wet or dry marinade, don’t forget to refrigerate the protein while it’s soaking up the flavor.
Combining different spices and ingredients in a marinade will make your meat the star of the plate with a balance of flavor. Don’t skip this cooking must!
