Kittencals Pot Roast Marinade And Tenderizer Recipes

KITTENCAL'S BEEF OR PORK MARINADE AND TENDERIZER

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!).
• Grill or oven-broil to desired doneness.
