<p>cpt, that sounds great! Can you provide proportions?</p>

22

<p>Heres my cheap teriyaki marinade</p>

<p>1 1/2 c. water
1/2 c. soy sauce
1/2 c. sugar (I like to use brown, but reg is fine)
1/2 TBLS minced or chopped garlic
1/4 tsp ginger (can omit)</p>

<p>Put it all in a zip lock baggie with the meat and walk away.</p>

<p>If I am grilling I re baste before everytime I turn it.</p>

<p>I like making my own, but I also like Harris Teeter’s house brands (grocery chain in SE/MidAtlantic). Years ago my sister-in-law turned me on to marinating flank steak in store-bought Italian dressing. There’s nothing better.</p>

24

<p>Also try marinating flank in french dressing with sliced onions, it gives it a sweet and tangy flavor</p>

25

<p>I’ve also used vinaigarette dressing as a marinade for barbequing chicken.</p>

<p>I bought meat from Costco the first time yesterday, but pork tenderloin package came with 4 pieces(too much meat). I made jerk pork tenderloin(spicy) and regular with wine sauce. I need to use all of my spices.</p>

<p>Here is the recipe for the marination, there is a picture in the link.</p>

<p>… I really like those Jack Daniels EZ Marinader marinades that come in a ziplock style bag. I use these exclusively for meats that I’m going to put on an outdoor grill. Delicious!</p>
