... before putting on the grill. I suppose that could work for broiling as well.

Thought I would post this as it is not new, but I got a reminder myself. Tenderizing is not the only benefit!

Studies have shown that the acid content of marinades made with vinegars, wine, citrus juices, oils and herbs reduces the risk of carcinogens created when meat is grilled.
