Have a beef tenderloin marinading in o. oil, basalmic vinegar, shallots, garlic and rosemary. Been in for 24 hrs. Had to postpone our dinner with friends till tomorrow night. Now I'm not sure if I should take it out of the bag or let it soak. I'm worried that the vinegar may penetrate too much??? I dunno... it's why I always come here an ask yall.....

    Wardster,
    well, i'm sure it wasn't a cup of balsamic vinegar or anything like that.[p]but sure, take it out if you are nervous.

    Wardster,
    Explain to your friends that timing is everything. Tonight was the tenderloin's night. Sorry, but it had to be cooked and enjoyed. They'll still appreciate tomorrow night's wings.[p]Or maybe you should listen to stike and Chubby!

    Wardster,
    That might be a little long for a tenderloin,
    but one of my favourite tricks with flank steak
    is to combine it with the marinade, vacuum the
    combination in a foodsaver bag, and throw it in
    the freezer for a month. Best flank steak ever.
    I think all is not lost. And add ginger, more
    garlic, and pepper! Lots of pepper!
