Need to marinate meat for flavor but short on time? As experienced home cooks know, there's a tried-and-true grandma's trick that speeds up the process dramatically.
Luckily, you can achieve great results without waiting overnight. The secret? Use a resealable plastic bag like Ziploc for an efficient "sous vide" effect.
1. Drizzle olive oil into the bag.
2. Add fresh lemon juice.
3. Include your favorite herbs and spices: pepper, chili, oregano, cumin, herbes de Provence, coriander, parsley, and more.
4. Add 1 minced garlic clove.
5. Place your meat inside the bag.
6. Seal the bag, removing all air for a tight "sous vide" seal.
7. Gently massage the meat to coat it evenly with the marinade.
8. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Your express marinade is ready! Removing the air accelerates infusion, delivering tender, flavorful meat in hours, not overnight.
This reliable method, passed down through generations, saves time without sacrificing taste. As we always say, time is money!
