A Delicious African Recipe for Meat Marinade

This marinade can be used for chicken, pork or beef

This is a great marinade for meat. I have used it for chicken, pork and beef and it works equally well for all three.

It’s so easy to throw this all together, put it in the fridge overnight & forget about it – and the next day you’ll have a really tasty and tender piece of meat (and believe you me, if it’s tough-as-old-boots Tanzanian beef, it’ll need some marinating !)


Meat Marinade

1 ½ cups Water
½ cup Olive oil
¾ cup Worcestershire Sauce
1 Onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp Garlic, chopped
4 tbsp Vinegar
4 tbsp Sugar
4 tbsp Tomato Sauce (Ketchup)
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Mustard
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper (or you can use Paprika)
4 tbsp Soy Sauce

Blend all the ingredients together. Place the meat in a glass dish and pour the marinade over it. Leave to marinade overnight. Discard marinade before cooking.
