Serving Size: 4-6 peopleWhile meats and vegetables taste great on their own or with a sprinkling of salt and pepper, a marinade always brings out the best in them. A marinade often contains herbs, spices, oils, and other ingredients that start to soak into the meat the longer it sits. A marinade also works to break down the meat, often making it more tender and juicy than it might be on its own. While you can quick-marinate food, ideally meat will soak in a marinade for several hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
