I also appreciate that you are using separate ingredients and some fresh ingredients rather than just bottles of premixed marinades.

Underrated video. You seriously do not know how many videos do not give marinating advice that actually change based on the cut of meat. You gave solid marinade recipes as well as advice on how to use them effectively. The information here is so much more useful than other videos I have watched regarding this topic. Also, the recipe turned out great for the steaks I grilled for mother's day. Way better tasting than any restaurant that I have stepped foot in 25 years. Take that for what you will.

She was trying to make a quick video of good marinades for a simple process and she accomplished that. Some things are basic enough that they need not be explained. Good job Sweet Pea!

Hello Lacey! 💗 Never could afford steak growing up, so I have no idea how to cook it? My husband loves steak! Can you show us taking one of these out of the freezer and how you defrost and cook it? Many thanks! I love your channel. Never stop being the denim queen 👸👏👏👏💙

[markcharcas]

I love your marinades! I’ve been using this and your chicken marinades for my and my wife’s meals lately and we have loved every one. Still have a couple more of yours to try though. 😊

[kerielwatson]

[MREiermann]

Hi thanks for channel Can you use the marinade as a glaze sauce afterwards!?

The garlic herb and honey ginger steaks are very appealing. Lemon based marenades are for chicken, pork and fish. I would never put lemons with beef

[wharph]

Steak is delicious when you tenderize it!

[bernadetteariolareyes]

Can i used this marinade mixture to chicken and pork?

[markdouglas]

Hi.  Just saw the 3 marinades for Tri-Tip.  Just a thought .... why not place the meat with the other flavors in their bags, seal them and gently rub them thus keeping your hands "clean"?

[sharonmetzner]

If I freeze a marinated sirloin steak will it be mushy??

[Pianistos]

I think it's better to make the marinade first in the bag and then put in the steak for a better mix of the ingredients.

[dededalvi]

Can these marinades be used for chicken also?

[arlolorenzo]

After marinating the steak for 6-24 hours. Is it okay to freeze it for about a week? Thanks.
