Tips:
- Use a variety of ingredients to create a flavorful marinade. This recipe includes olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic, onion, chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Feel free to experiment with other ingredients that you think will complement the meat or vegetables you are marinating.
- Allow the meat or vegetables to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. The longer the marinade sits, the more flavor the meat or vegetables will absorb. If you are short on time, you can marinate the meat or vegetables for a shorter period of time, but the flavor will not be as intense.
- Use a resealable plastic bag or glass container to marinate the meat or vegetables. This will help to keep the marinade from leaking out and will make it easy to turn the meat or vegetables over so that they are evenly coated.
- Discard the marinade after it has been used. Do not reuse it, as it may contain harmful bacteria.
Conclusion:
This zesty barbecue marinade is a great way to add flavor to your next cookout. It is easy to make and can be used on a variety of meats and vegetables. With its sweet, tangy, and smoky flavor, this marinade is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are firing up the grill, be sure to give this zesty barbecue marinade a try.
