I've been using this stuff for a while, but I have a question for those who may be more familiar with it.

My Aunt dropped by with a seven pound eye of round roast and asked me to cook it.

She is old fashioned and all of her roasts are cooked to death, tough, and dry.

After I slow roasted a sirloin tip for a party last year, I became the family beef authority.

Anyway........I have the cooking method down pat....high temp sear, then turn off the oven, etc.

I intended to marinate the thing in Dale's since i have had luck with this before.

Now.....I have read that Dale's should not be used for a LONG marinate since it is so concentrated, but heck.......the **** taste so good.

Do you think that the cut would benefit from a longer marinating period.......more than just overnight??

Well back to Jades idea then.

Maybe you can put it in a oven bag with the marinade overnight in the fridge. I have done that with a couple of pork roasts.

It works very well.

I'm not a big Dale's fan, it's too salty. I think it would ruin the meat with a long soak.

I think cutting it with water or something else liquid.... apple juice (for pork maybe) or even beer would allow it to soak longer, but keep some of the saltiness out.

I've never enjoyed over-marinated meat.

Maybe try marinade for 1-2 hours prior to cook, then serve Dale's on the side for those who like?

i would cut it with a mix of brown sugar and water with maybe some apple cider or orange juice if it were pork. For beef I would cut with water and worcheshire sauce mixed with just a little brown sugar.

But thats just me

Bass, It's more or less soy sauce sweetened. I am using it for a prime rib right now.

I did cut mine with water and also added some dehydraded onion to the marinade. So far so good.

fresh onion will not give me the taste profile I am looking for.
