How long should you marinate meat using a vacuum bag?

Answer by  KateWilliams (7)

I don't think marinating meat using a vacuum bag is good at all. If the meat is left in for too long, it could end up tasting like plastic. Especially with tough meat like beef. But if you MUST use them to marinate steak, I would recommend marinating the meat in the vacuum bag for no more than 6 hours.

I usually leave mine at least over night. For more flavor, try leaving it an extra day if you have time. The meat will absorb more of the flavors in the marinade.
