Step 1: Wet or Dry
Your wet marinades are usually used for meats that will cook “low and slow” while your dry rubs are for faster cooking at higher heats.

Step 2: Acid and Oil
Like good vinaigrette good marinade need acidity and oil to enhance the flavor of the meat--add whatever herbs and spices you like.

Step 3: 1- 2 Hours
