I tend to marinade ribeye steak overnight in full fat Coke.

Wow. What's that like? I've never used Coke as an ingredient. Going to have to try that! Would the diet stuff work?

Yep, Dr Pepper marinaded brisket was shown to me, and it was great. Now, when I make pulled pork shoulder, I inject Dr pepper mixed with some spices, between all the muscles, it works a treat..

I tried this on chicken for the first time last night and it was lush. Strangely you can't taste the rosemary in it, just a yummy spicy savouriness.

Smoked paprika and rosemary marinade:

200ml olive oil
1 heaped tablespoon smoked paprika
1 heaped dessertspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 medium onion, grated
1 teaspoon salt

Slash chicken pieces and marinade overnight. The above quantity is enough for 4 chicken legs.

I can attest to this being yummy - Tina brought it over today when she came over to watch the GP. Slammed it in the oven during the GP and had it afterwards. And it really was extremely nice.

Mustard version

Very tasty

[cramorra]

Lemon juice, died oregano, olice oil

put cubed lamb or pork in it for 6 hrs, then on skewers and on the barbie....

-Souvlaki- enjoy with some Pitta and Tsatsiki...

I can bring this one back up since it is BBQ season again

Searching for ideas, I tried this tonight, as I didn't have much time to marinate the meat (pork steaks):

And a Greek-ish marinade that I love on lamb;

1/3 cup EVOO
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp dry oregano
a sprig of finely chopped rosemary
1/3 tsp red chilli flakes

And it was very nice!

Not quite a marinade, but I do something along the lines of the coke and steak. Take a small can (330ml) of Guinness or similar dark ale. Open can and place up bum of chicken, then place can and chicken on barbeque, keeping the can vertical. The chicken ends up lovely and moist with a great flavour.

Beer Butt Chicken.

Avoid cans with "widgets" - any plastic inside the tinny is disastrous.

Personally I prefer to use a tinny of cider. Cider Butt Chicken.

Also - you only need the can to be a third full or so. Might as well drink the rest!

Can this be done on an open barby, you know without the roll-over lid?

Not really. It's a sort of roasting - you need a kettle BBQ or just use your oven.


Something I have learned: there's no shame in using your oven during a BBQ party. You still eat it outside.

Having had a lot of pork in the last year or so and needing to think of new ways to use up leftovers and odds and ends, we've come up with a great store-cupboard recipe to use as either a brush on marinade for BBQ meat, or as a base for pulled pork;

120g/4oz ketchup
2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons worcester sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 dash of tabasco sauce
1 clove of finely chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon of mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt

Put them all in a pan and bring to a simmer, then adjust the acidity/sweetness to taste. It only takes 10 mins to make and everything is already in the house, so no trips out to buy anything unusual (or buying ingredients we only use once).

HP
Lemon
Honey

Very quick and very tasty. Done.

[richieboy3008]

Sweet chilli sauce
English mustard
Honey
chopped red chilli
Wostershire source
Soy (dark or light)
Brown sauce
chopped garlic
tomato puree

All of the above are to taste, so had as little or as much as you like. Great rubbed in meat, or poured over ribs and left overnight in the fridge.

It's not quite a marinade but my Grandad swears by this:

Put some mixed herbs in a small glass of whisky
Leave overnight
Let them to dry a bit, best to pass througha sieve first, then toss them on the coals

Gives everything a really nice flavour Smells pretty good too!

My spicy chicken marinade:

1 x bottle of Encona hot pepper sauce
2 x limes
3 x cloves of garlic
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil

Grind loads of salt and pepper into a bowl. Add finely chopped garlic, add juice of 2 limes and a glug of olive oil, add bottle of hot sauce. Mix and marinade the chicken.

Works well and spicy but not *that* hot.
