In order to have a tasty barbeque make sure to have a delicious marinade, because this is just the most important ingredient in any outdoor meal. A fine marinade not only carries your grilling moist and flavorful, but can even make the whole meal healthier. Most marinades work by using a sour base (vinegar, wine or lemon juice, for example) to soften muscle tissue, making the meat feel tender and juicier in the mouth. Here are some marinades ideas that can help you make a tasty meal. Check them out and then begin proving yourself to make the marinades that are splendid for you. You will find that most of these marinades work with a particular type of meat, but the elements are always the same. Try one out and get the most out of your grilling.

Brisket Marinade
Even if you are smoking or grilling a brisket, this marinade will add a lot of flavor and help keep the meat tender. The better process for this is soaking the brisket in for a minimum 24 hours to let the flavor deep into the meat. To make the meat more tender use a sour based marinade like lemon or lime juice or any type of vinegar. Add seasoning of your choice. Brisket is usually seasoned either sweet or hot. If you want hot, add your favorite hot chili peppers. For sweet pack the brisket in brown sugar overnight. The sugar will mostly melt by morning and can be a sticky mess so make sure if you do this, to wrap it tightly in foil or plastic and put it on a large platter in the refrigerator.
Pineapple Marinade
This sweet, fruity marinade has the bent of pineapple and cider vinegar to work its way into meat. It adds a mass of flavors that shifts any cut of pork or chicken into something truly great. Sweet and sour flavors are great during barbecues, particularly with pork and chicken. Whether it's fresh fruit, a marinade, or glaze, it's nice to have a tropical sweet taste with your food.
Mexican Marinade
This marinade can be used on almost any meat or Mexican-style dish. You'll get a great lime and cilantro flavor without overpowering the flavor of the meat. This is a delectable marinade to expose the fantastic taste of Mexican food. Perfect if you’re making Fajitas or Tacos.
Teriyaki Marinade
This marinade is sure to add flavor to whatever you're grilling. This marinade works particularly well with pork and poultry. Teriyaki marinade is usually combined with soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar and ginger. The longer the meat marinates, the better it will taste.
Pork Chop Marinade
This is a great Asian style marinade that works well on all cuts of pork, particularly pork chops. Marinating pork greases and tenderizes the meat. You can make your own marinade or buy a ready-made brand. The important thing to keep in mind is, that marinades should contain an acidic ingredient that softens meat, so make sure you add an ingredient in your recipe with a sour taste, if you’re making a pork marinade from scratch. You can marinade pork chops, cutlets, ribs or roast in just a few hours or overnight.
