Meat Marinade and Grills

Bogart · May 10, 2005

The steak nazis on another forum I belong to claim that under no circumstances should meat ever be marinated - if it needs a marinade you shouldn't be eating it, and if you marinade a good piece of meat you are a hillbilly retard. What do you guys think?
:cornfused:

I have heard the same said about better cuts of meat... ie short loin, porterhouse, t-bone and of course filet.. It's your meat, marinate if you want... :lol:

Tho a really good piece of meat could offer itself to be a very satisfying meal without outside influence, a marinade could enhance the meat and offers a tantalizing thrill to the taste buds that could make the dining experience more fulfilling and pleasurable. Feel free to experiment with various marinades… variety is the spice of life… :yay:

I think THEY are the hillbilly retards. Good beef doesn't NEED a marinade, any more than a beautiful woman NEEDS perfume. Both merely serve to enhance and create a more complex final product.

If the goal is merely to get your belly full, you can go to McDonald's. Grilling is an art and should be treated with the love and reverence it deserves. Where are they? I'll straighten them out.

I guess these folks don't want any seasoning at all on their food? No salt, no pepper, no nothing. :shrug:

Sorry, Kwillia, no ketchup for you. :lol:

Marinating is fine (just don't poke holes in the meat) :lol:

Tough cuts like flank, strip, round steak, etc. need some help in flavor department. Marinating adds this, and helps to tenderize.

Good aged beef, the tender cuts (tenderloin, fillets, rib eye, t-bone, porterhouse) only need S&P before cooking. Add a sauce on the side if you need addtional flavor.

And yes, Kwillia, I would consider Ketchup a sauce :yay:

I absolutely agree with Airgasm. Why bother spending big $$$ on aged beef and dull the flavor with marinades and sauces? You WANT to taste the flavor of the beef and you can't when you mask it. The cheaper cuts do need help with flavor and tenderness and marinades do the trick.

My other pet peeve is overcooking. At the restaurant where I took my mom for dinner on Sunday, a person at the table next to us ordered prime rib - well done. I almost cried. :frown:
