Marinade has a double role in the preparation of meat. It softens and flavors it. The acids in the marinade weaken muscle tissue and increase the meat's ability to retain moisture. The ingredients for marinating are mainly wine, vinegar, oil and various herbs. One of the tricks is to add some natural pineapple juice to the marinade, which will help soften the meat even more. The longer the meat is in the marinade, the better the effect.
