Marinade
Beef marinades generally follow the same theme: acid, oil and flavoring. Most cuts of beef, including roasts, benefit from a marinade but value steaks (flank, skirt, cube, sirloin tip, chuck, round, arm) will see the most benefit from a tenderizing marinade. Olive oil tends to be the most common oil used and your acid can come from a variety of different sources including: vinegar, coffee, soy sauce, lime/lemon/orange/grapefruit juice, and wine.

Following the theme of acid, oil and flavoring, the possibilities are endless for marinades. Below is a sample marinade with a few examples of flavors that can be added.
