But there’s another secret that will improve both the flavor and texture of your proteins: proper marinating. Done right a marinade is more than just a seasoning. It can help tenderize meat and change the protein so it retains more moisture. It can enhance the browning properties that are the goal of high-heat cooking. It can also help other flavors absorb more easily.
