We were out of town for a long weekend, during which other people did all the cooking. So I didn’t have a chance to try a new recipe. But, thanks to thoughtful hosts and lovely weather, we enjoyed the first grilled meal of the season, and oh, it was good!
Today, the weather turned cold and rainy again. But more sunny days are on the way. In anticipation of grilled meals to come, here are three fave meat marinades previously featured on Down the Gravel Road:
- Honey Mustard Marinade: This post includes Honey Mustard Marinade within the recipe for Honey Mustard Stir Fry. So dig your way down to the marinade part of the post and use it to prepare pork or some other meat for the grill. Or make the stir fry once garden season begins. It’s good both ways.
- Teriyaki Sauce: This recipe is good with chicken, beef, and shrimp. It’s especially good for marinading meat to go on kabobs with fresh veggies and pineapple. However, the photo shows the sauce used in a stir fry, so just imagine that hodgepodge of veggies on skewers instead.
- Savory Marinade: This is our all time favorite grilling marinade. It works well with any kind of meat–chops, roasts, burgers, and kabobs. It does not, however, taste nearly as good in a stir fry. Go figure! The picture below shows beef cut thin, soaked in marinade for an hour or two, grilled briefly and served over plain rice. It doesn’t sound like much, but boy is it good.
Do you have a favorite marinade for food on the grill? Leave a comment about it or even the recipe if you don’t mind divulging your cook’s secrets. Happy grilling to you!
