I figured with all the political threads we're seeing, a good BBQ thread would take some tension off, or not. Ha!

 

[airkeung88]

for sauce I will always stick with A1 steaksauce.

Word.

my brother in-law marinates his short ribs with Mickeys liquor. They always come out

what's the ideal amount of time for marinating meat, like ribs or carne asada? is it the longer the better?

 

[carlosdapaperboy]

Worcestershier Sauce is what's up.

 

[mrmoneyindabank]

If u wanna give ur bbq some carribbean flare marinate ur meats in jerk sauce, peppers, onions.

 

[ninjallamafromhell]

red wine, the acids tenderize the meat

Short ribs marinated with just liquor alone? Where does the flavor come from?

 

[ghenges]

What is a dice of meat stock?

I thought stock is a liquid and if so, how much is a dice?

 

[yoda]

Steak should never be marinated, dressed, or seasoned with anything other than salt and pepper.

Chicken, pork, fish on the other hand, marinade away.

they cube it like sugar cubes. i assume this is what he's talking about.

But as far as steak - i haven't had much experience with the different types of meat - i always get a decent cut and just salt and pepper it, like youshould for any good piece. But i know with a lot of the less desirable cuts, you do tend to need to work some magic with them with the seasonings and such -sorry can't help much, i'm much better at like chicken and maybe some fish recipes.

Yup, couldn't agree more. I like to marinate my steaks for a couple hours in nothing but Worcestershier sauce. The more you marinate the more tender your steaks will become. If you have a good cut of meat you shouldn't need any extra spices, just a dash of salt and pepper.

A nice little secret to making hamburgers that stick together, throw in a dash of bread crumbs and one egg white. Mix all together plus your hamburger and you will have hamburger patties that will stay together and not fall apart.

isn't that a bouillon (sp?) cube

and IMO, if you are buying a quality piece of steak, you shouldn't need marinade.
some salt and pepper and you are good to go.

[mr monday niight]

pork & bean juice

 

[mad beats]

For steak.

Soy sauce
Brown sugar
Sesame oil
Hoisin sauce

For a 3/4" ribeye, should be grilled at high heat for 5 min each side. Let stand for 5 min. Serve with carmelized red onions.

i agree, i just poke it with a fork, rub some olive oil, salt and pepper in and it's ready.

 

[in more checks than nike]

Crush a small amount of corn flakes in each hamburger meat patty before puttin them on the grill you'll love it

 

[dirtylicious]

pork chops:

Soy Sauce
Rice Wine Vinegar
Brown Sugar
Chopped garlic
Pepper
edit. forgot Olive oil

Marinate in Bag - overnight or longer for fuller flavor.

Broil in over or BBQ

 

[ghenges]

I agree with the salt and pepper only on a steak. Sometimes I'll add a PINCH of garlic powder for a lil extra kick but other than that it's just saltand pepper.

 

[justhotkicks]

With short ribs, there's only one way to go.

2 cups soy sauce
1 cup sugar
Lots of garlic
A little ginger
Sliced white onion
Chopped scallions
Black Pepper
