According to USDA<\/a>, you can let usual meat marinate for about two days without complications. Post that, you might notice the meat getting a mushy texture as the marinade begins to seep into the various layers. It is important to note that these guidelines are for meat that has been thawed and at room temperature. For frozen meat, the duration can be longer.<\/p>\nConclusively, you should be able to marinate frozen meat for about 12 to 13 hours<\/strong>, as that is how much time most recipes call for.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

For frozen meats, we always recommend freezer bags<\/strong>. Use the same ones they are stored in. You can also use a baking dish. We will show you how to use both below:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
How To Marinade In A Baking Dish<\/strong><\/h3>\nStep 1:<\/strong> Pour a small amount of the marinade into the baking dish and gently place the meat over it. Now empty the rest of the marinade on the top of the meat.<\/p>\nStep 2:<\/strong> Take a piece of plastic wrap and gently push it on top of the meat and place the baking dish in the fridge.<\/p>\nStep 3:<\/strong> Flip the side after about five to six hours to ensure both sides are marinated perfectly. Marinate the meat until it has thawed.<\/p>\nStep 4:<\/strong> Take the meat out of the baking dish and begin to cook your meat as per your preference.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> No need to pull out a new freezer bag; pour the marinade in the same bag you have stored the frozen meat. Properly coat the meat.<\/p>\nStep 2:<\/strong> While sealing the bag, ensure you press out all the air not to spoil the meat while it marinates.<\/p>\nStep 3:<\/strong> Once you have sealed it shut, shake the bag a little to swish the marinade for better coating.<\/p>\nStep 4:<\/strong> Leave the frozen bag on a dish and place it in the refrigerator for 10 to 12 hours. Flip the meat every few hours for even coating.<\/p>\nStep 5:<\/strong> Wait for the meat to thaw; take it out of the bag and cook as per your preference.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
