What the heck. Let's see if a dry marinade flies. Besides, I got prodded by some impressive antlers. Worst that can happen is a Dilly Bar, and I like ice cream. So here goes.

Sweet and salty dry mustard dry marinated (About 4 hours in fridge) pork loin roast cooked on the akorn. Cook thread here: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3504421#post3504421

Excellent entry, Guerry! I'd hit that...

Now then...on to the issue of what exactly is a "marinade". :roll:

This question was posed in the off topic thread, and I answered thusly:

+++++

Can we define marinade for this throwdown?

I think it should be obvious - any kind of spice or herb infused liquid (or not, which could be wine, beer or soda etc), for example would qualify. Wiki says it can be either acidic or enzymatic, but I don't think we need to go that far. Got it? Good! :thumb:
+++++

In order to avoid any further confusion about what a "marinade" is, both of the following definitions will be applied to entries in this throwdown:

1. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/marinade

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marination

Further, I will be editing the category description so that there's no confusion moving forward.

At this point, Deguerre can submit a replacement entry that fits the definition of the category description, or, he can go down the path of glory to a coveted DQ if he so wishes to retain his entry for this TD. If that's the case, he will receive a very special frozen treat in his choice of four delicious flavors.

With my radial nerve damage causing problems with my right hand, interfering with my cooking sometimes, as well as other activities, I may just take the treat. :thumb:

Here's my entry to the MARINATED throw down
Cocoa vanilla brewed strong stout with diced red onion and crushed garlic was the marinade for this tri tip.

Flank Steak Carne Asada

[FONT=&quot]This is my entry into the “If You Marinate the Meat, They Will Come!” Throwdown.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]So I’m on a taco roll this weekend. Today I marinated some Flank Steak for Carne Asada. All the ingredients are the same as in my Street taco post [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=227459) only doubled as this steak was over twice as big. Unfortunately it’s also twice as expensive. (This is why flap meat is so popular around these parts) [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Here are most of the ingredients for the marinate. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Recipe is as follows: (A combination of Tyler Florence’s and one from Allrecipes.com)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]4 tbsp. white wine vinegar[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]4 tbsp. soy sauce[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]8 gloves of garlic – minced.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]4 limes juiced[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2 oranges juiced[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 tsp. salt.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 tsp. black pepper[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 tsp. white pepper[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 tsp. chipotle pepper[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 tsp. dried oregano[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 tsp. cumin[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 cup EVOO[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mix everything up in a bowl[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Diced up two jalapenos, 1/2 cup packed cilantro and added it plus 1/2 cup diced onion to the pool and stirred.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Here’s the flank steak ready to be butterflied. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I simply took my craving knife and elevated it slightly with a 1/4" cutting broad and slid it back and forth giving me a fairly uniform cut.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Into a gallon Ziploc with the marinate for a 6 hour get happy nap. (Flipping every 1/2 hour or so)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]While the meat was resting I made up some Mexican rice and some frijoles. (Recipe link: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=223944)[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Once it was close to dinner time I got my Weber OTS ready and lite up some charcoal in my chimney.[/FONT] O[FONT=&quot]nce it was up to temp I put on the meat.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]While it was cooking I made up some fresh tortillas.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Once everything was done I cut up the meat into 1/2" strips.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I then set up the taco cart, errr I mean bar and we sat down to eat. (My little boy liked the smell)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Plated here with a Negra Modelo.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
Please use the picture below as my polling photo.

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Muy delicioso! [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Thanks for looking.[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]
