THEY MARINATE CUTS THAT NEED IT| For less tender steaks like flank, skirt or round, Wasser suggests a tenderizing marinade that contains acidic ingredients such as lemon juice, flavored vinegar or even Dr. Pepper as well as natural enzymes like ginger or pineapple. Allow a fourth- to a half-cup of marinade for every pound of beef and marinate for six to 12 hours in the refrigerator — never at room temperature. Dry rubs and marinades work best when cooking beef on a grill, Wasser says. Avoid pastes or marinades with high sugar content to minimize burning.
