We had a good marinade thread about a year ago, until it was pulled (closed topic here). Another addition that can dress up an otherwise ordinary piece of meat is a sauce or glaze.

Last night I made boring pork chops on the grill (just salt and pepper), but I dressed it up with a maple glaze which made it quite tasty.

5 Tblspn pure maple syrup
4 Tblspn cidar vinegar
2 tspn dijon mustard

Combine ingredients, and heat over med-high flame until reduced and thickened... about 5 mins.

So, what are some of your favorite sauces and glazes?

I'm not big on fruit and/or sweet sauces with meat. Trying to enjoy a great red Burgundy with food with a sweet sauce is futile and a waste of the wine. Certainly, you can go with a big Zin or Syrah with the sweet sauces, but I'll pass.

I make a chicken Portobello demi-glace that I keep in the freezer to add to my sauces. Green peppercorn is my favorite sauce.

Virtually all my sauces are begun by deglazing the pan. Usually the first liquid I introduce into the pan after the meat has been removed is Cognac. The wine comes later after the alcohol from the Cognac has been either flamed out or boiled out.
