How to prepare Marinades for 5 types of Meat

Santiago Ortiz

If you are a person who likes to prepare charcoal meat, it is important that you marine the meat properly. A good marinade brings a lot of flavor and makes the meat more juicy and tender, preventing it from drying out by the heat of the charcoal. Marinating is very simple, you need three components: acid (lemon, vinegar, beer, etc.), which softens the meat; oil (olive oil, butter, etc.), which protects the meat from the embers, preventing it from drying out; species or herbs (pepper, oregano, etc.), which brings a delicious flavor to the preparation. Here we show you the correct way to prepare different marinades depending on the protein or the flavors you are looking for. The marinades are very simple to make, everything goes in a bag, you stir it and let it rest for at least two hours.

Que en todo tipo de carne se indicó el agregar el ingrediente ácido, menos en el de los cortes gruesos y finos de carne, lo cual me parece un error. Gracias por su atención
