Marinade-O’-Rama

I am a huge fan of Ziploc baggies.  The gallon sized, freezer kind.  Specifically those I have filled with some kind of meat and a really good marinade.  It is a good way to get fantastic flavor without a lot of complicated cooking.  Here are a couple of my favorites.

For London Broil:
1c Soy Sauce
1c Molasses (I like to use Blackstrap)
1c Olive Oil
1 tsp minced garlic

Marinate in fridge for 12-48 hours.  Cook on grill till rare in center.

For Pork Tenderloin:
1c Molasses
1c Soy Sauce
Dash of lemon juice

I marinated this for 4 days and then roasted it until medium in the center.  Fantastic!

For Chicken Breast:
I have found nothing better than half a bottle of Zesty Italian Dressing.  So sue me.

Marinate boneless/skinless breasts for 2 hours in fridge.  Place skin side down on broiling pan and pour remaining marinade over the meat.  Broil on bottom rack until juices run clear when meat is cut.
