Recipes for the Everyday Grill Master
A good marinade is the difference between "nice dinner" and "can you teach me how you did this?"
I used to think marinades were optional. Then I actually tried soaking a steak in the balsamic one overnight, and I've never grilled anything naked again. (Figuratively speaking, folks. Let's not get weird.) A few pantry staples, a zip top bag, and an hour or two in the fridge is all it takes to turn a basic weeknight protein into something people talk about at the table.
You'll find the best steak marinades including the classic Steak Marinade, a bold Balsamic Steak Marinade, a garlicky Garlic Steak Marinade, a Red Wine Steak Marinade, and the shortcut Italian Dressing Steak Marinade for when you need dinner on the grill fast. For chicken marinades, there's the everyday Chicken Marinade, a bright Greek Chicken Marinade, a sticky sweet Teriyaki Marinade, and Grilled Lemon Chicken that's ready the second the grill is hot. Rounding out the lineup is the Best Pork Chop Marinade and a quick Shrimp Marinade that turns plain shrimp into skewer worthy seafood.
Weeknight dinners, backyard cookouts, meal prep, or anytime you want to upgrade plain meat into something worth seconds, these grilling marinade recipes do the heavy lifting for you. Grab a zip top bag, folks, and let's get marinating.
