How much meat does one packet marinate?
One packet marinates 1 3/4 to 2 lbs of meat. Works great for a family dinner, a small grilling party, or meal prepping for a few days.
How long do I marinate?
Minimum 15 minutes, maximum 30 minutes. Pierce the meat deeply on both sides so the marinade penetrates. Longer marinades won't hurt, but 15-30 minutes is the sweet spot for flavor without over-soaking.
What's the exact mixing ratio?
Mix 1 packet with 2 tablespoons salad oil and 2/3 cup cold water. Blend thoroughly, then submerge your meat in a shallow pan.
What meats work best?
Beef, chicken, and pork are the standards. Also works great with fish, turkey, and vegetables. Anything you'd grill or roast benefits from mesquite flavor.
How do I cook it after marinating?
Grill, broil, bake, or pan-fry. The marinade stays on the meat while cooking—don't rinse it off.
How do I store unopened packets?
Keep them in a cool, dry place like your pantry. They'll stay fresh for up to 2 years.
