Can a Marinade be a Sauce?
Marinade most certainly can be used as a sauce for the finished dish, but only when it has been brought to a boil and cooked for at least five minutes. This will destroy any bacteria that may be transmitted from raw meat, poultry or fish. These are three of my most favorite summer marinades: Teriyaki – ideal for all proteins Citrus – ideal for seafood or chicken Steak – ideal for beef Happy Memorial Day! Happy Marinating!
