Wrap the meat in plastic wrap, starting with the wrap we have been using under the meat. Use enough wrap to seal the meat so the air is trapped inside and place in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours at least. You can go ahead and use the meat in cases where your schedule doesn't allow for over night marinating, but please allow at least a minimum of one hour. Marinating can also safely be done for up to 72 hours, at least in the refrigerator.
Using plastic wrap for the marinating process is only a suggestion. Other choices include plastic bowls with seal able lids or storage/freezer bags.
