Your Best All-Purpose Marinade

Grilling over an open flame is a cooking technique as old as mankind. Every summer we celebrate the warm weather by heading outdoors to prepare favorite backyard grill dishes. Using a marinade can maximize the flavor and keep items moist while exposed to a grill's dry heat. Whether you use citrus and herbs or focus on spices and vinegar, marinades help tenderize a wide variety of meats and imbue immense flavor into vegetables. For this contest, we’re looking for your go-to flavor enhancer indoors and out — share Your Best All-Purpose Marinade!
