This post is contributed by my cousin "in-law" who lives in an area just outside of the ATL. This is great stuff!! He served as a fire chief, and has recently retired. More time to grill!! Here is what he wrote:
Firefighters eat well when they are on duty. That's a fact. During my 30 plus years in the fire service I have learned from some of the best firehouse chefs in the business. One pearl of wisdom I picked up along the way is, marinating is more that just dipping a piece of meat in sauce. It is knowing what the sauce will do to and for the meat before you dip. This recipe was developed over time and can easily be tweaked to your particular taste. It is equally tasty on chicken or beef. Enjoy!
Chief Gray's Marvelous Marinade:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup lite (reduced sodium)soy sauce
1/4 cup marsala cooking wine (substitute= apple juice)
2 tbsp. brown sugar (packed)
1 or 2 cloves fresh garlic (crushed)
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. ground white pepper
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
Combine vegetable oil and crushed garlic.
Microwave on high for 30 seconds.
Add all other ingredients and blend well.
Marinate meat from 1 to 24 hrs. in refrigerator before grilling.
You may baste the meat with marinade while grilling, but I prefer to make a fresh batch for this.
