Good BBQ'd Meat starts with a Good Marinade!!!

My Very own Marinade:

In jar (cleaned, of course) with a tight lid:

1 tbls worcestershire sauce
2 tbls lemon juice
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tbls cider vinegar
2 tbls honey
1 tbls deli-mustard
2 tbls minced garlic
2-3 tbls Sherry

combine ingredients in jar-tighten lid and shake until combined. I find I can make it ahead and keep refrigerated until ready to use.I can't tell you the shelf-life-it never lasts more than 2 or three meals around here. I works well on beef,chicken and pork-on the grill in the oven-whatever!

Always bring your meat to room temp. before you cook it!
It will stay juicier on the grill and will have more flavor!
For meats: Place tour meat cuts in a plastic zip-lock bag and pour a bit of the marinade over them-zip the bag and if you enjoy a workout-jump up and down -shaking as you go-or just shake the bag to completely coat and set aside while you light the grill.
once your fire is ready and the grates are hot-place the meat on the grill and baste with the marinade.(disgard marinade left in the bag-use the stuff that is left in the jar!)
When the meat is well browned-turn and baste again.Now turn the fire down(or move to medium heat) and continue cooking. I usually baste and flip and rebaste every 10 minutes for a large meat portion(roast or slab of ribs) and just before I serve for steaks or chicken.....
