A Little About Marinades and Rubs

Marinades tenderize, add flavor and moisten all kinds of foods. To keep beef, fish and chicken flavorful and juicy, a marinade is crucial.

There are three basic ingredients in most marinades. Acids (vine- gar, citrus, etc.), oils and spices. The acids tenderize, the oils moisten, and the spices add the flavor.

The amount of time a food marinates depends on the flavor and texture of that food. For example, fish should only marinate for up to 30 minutes or less, while a steak should marinate for a couple of hours or more.

While foods are marinating, they should be kept refrigerated. It is best to remove the food and bring back to room temperature before cooking. NOTE: Do not allow raw or uncooked meats to stand at room temperature for extended periods of time.

Extra flavor can be added to meats by rubbing with your choice of spices and herbs. This is called a dry rub. Before cooking, rub the food with spice and herb mixture and it is ready to cook. Common examples of spice rubs are cracked peppercorn, garlic, or rose- mary.

Rubs

Any spice or herb can be used for a dry rub on virtually any kind of meat: roasts, chicken, steaks, and fish. These, of course, are just suggestions. The possibilities for rubs are endless...

Here are some examples:

Red Meat Rub

1 Tablespoon cracked peppercorn

2-4 Tablespoons salt

2-4 cloves minced garlic

1 Tablespoon rosemary

1 Tablespoon paprika

Fish Rub

1 Tablespoon dried basil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper pinch paprika
