Marinating tips

Marinating is the best way to add flavour to your meat and tenderise it at the same time. The longer you marinate it, the better - overnight in the fridge is perfect. Leave in a sealed bag or a non-metallic container. Marinades should be well balanced and contain a mix of something acidic (ie vinegar, lemon juice) with oil and flavouring.
