Marinating is the process of soaking meat in seasoned liquid to add flavour and tenderize the cut of meat.  The acids in wine and vinegar help to break down and tenderize the meat.

Delicate meats, such as fish, require mild marinades, however, beef and chicken require stronger marinades.  Likewise, meats such as fish require less time to marinate fully, however beef, chicken and lamb require more time to marinate.

For the best marinating practices, it is recommended that while meats marinate, they need to be turned occasionally to ensure all meat is covered in marinade fully.
