| Easy Marinades for Grilled Steak and Chicken |
As Labor Day approaches, these three versatile marinades are your perfect companions for the remainder of grilling season. They seamlessly transition into the cooler months, ready to enhance your roasts with their flavorful soak. Remember these tips, and prepare yourself for the most delicious grilled steak (and chicken) you've ever tasted.
1. Simple Overnight Chicken Marinade
This fragrant olive oil-lemon marinade strikes the perfect balance, enhancing your dishes without overwhelming them, allowing for vibrant sides and zesty cocktails to shine at the table. Effortlessly toss chicken pieces into a resealable bag with Worcestershire sauce, whole-grain mustard, and aromatic ingredients such as smashed garlic, thyme sprigs, and lemon wheels. Let the flavors meld while you sit back and relax.
2. Red Wine and Garlic Steak Marinade
Red wine serves as the ultimate secret ingredient for crafting a marinade: Its acidity works to tenderize the meat, while its rich depth adds layers of complex flavors. We've crafted the perfect marinade for any meal by infusing the wine with garlic, herbs, and spices. This marinade delivers a bold burst of flavor with a delightful touch of spice and sweetness, ideal for elevating your meat even before it hits the grill. Just put the meat in a sealable plastic bag with the marinade and allow it to rest overnight. On the following day, ensure the steaks are thoroughly dried before grilling them to perfection as per your preference.
3. Creamy Mayonnaise Marinade
Consider this remarkable single-ingredient marvel as a moist brine. Mix in your preferred dry rub with the mayo or just sprinkle with salt and pepper: The mayonnaise will hold the spices in place, preventing them from falling off. It forms a robust crust, locking in flavor and delivering the perfect char. Additionally, it's likely that you already have it in your refrigerator, and mayonnaise is a delightful flavor for him.
