When roasting meat, most people stick to standard recipes. Why not remember a few tricks?
Before baking, meat can be coated with certain ingredients.
In this way, you can achieve excellent taste and aroma, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, a cook and fourth-class baker.
Olive oil
Olive oil is one of the most popular options for brushing meat before roasting.
It makes the meat tender, helps form a crispy crust and adds a light flavor.
Experienced chefs recommend using extra virgin olive oil for a richer flavor.
Soy sauce
Soy sauce is an excellent ingredient for marinades, giving meat depth of flavor and rich color.
To grease the meat, you can use pure soy sauce or mix it with honey, garlic, ginger and other spices.
This marinade is especially good for pork and beef.
Mustard sauce
Another popular ingredient for rubbing meat.
Mustard sauce not only gives the meat a piquant taste, but also helps to form a crispy crust.
Experienced cooks recommend using hot mustard or a mixture with honey for roasting chicken and pork.
BBQ sauce
It imparts a sweet, smoky flavor to the meat and helps form a caramelized crust.
For best results, brush the meat with sauce 15-20 minutes before the end of baking to prevent the sauce from burning.
Garlic oil
Garlic oil is a simple yet effective meat rub.
It gives the meat a rich flavor and helps maintain juiciness.
To make garlic oil, simply mix olive oil with crushed garlic and leave to infuse for a few hours.
This oil is good for roasting lamb and beef.
Lemon juice
Lemon juice is a great way to add a fresh, zesty flavor to meat. It pairs well with chicken and fish.
You can brush the meat with lemon juice before roasting or use it as part of a marinade.
Lemon juice also helps tenderize the meat, making it more tender.
Orange juice
Orange juice adds a sweet, fruity flavor to the meat and helps create a golden crust.
This ingredient goes well with chicken and pork.
Experienced chefs recommend using freshly squeezed orange juice for marinades and rubbing meat.
