Step up your grilling game with Lawry's Marinades, a trusted name in flavor enhancement that's been delivering bold tastes since 1938. This category features two standout options: the Teriyaki with Pineapple Juice Marinade in a convenient 12 fl oz pack of 6, and the Signature Steakhouse with Garlic, Onion & Red Bell Pepper Marinade, also 12 fl oz. Whether you're prepping weeknight dinners or weekend barbecues, these marinades infuse meats with restaurant-worthy depth, saving you time while maximizing flavor.
Why Lawry's Marinades Stand Out
Lawry's has built a reputation for premium seasonings and marinades that balance quality ingredients with consistent results. What sets them apart is their use of real fruit juices and vegetables—like pineapple in the Teriyaki blend and fresh-inspired garlic, onion, and bell pepper in the Steakhouse—for authentic taste without artificial aftertastes. These aren't just mixes; they're crafted to tenderize proteins deeply, drawing out natural juices for succulent results. Home cooks and grill masters alike rely on Lawry's for versatility across chicken, beef, pork, and even veggies.
As part of our broader Marinades selection within Sauces, Gravies & Marinades, Lawry's products fit seamlessly into any pantry. They're shelf-stable, easy to store, and ready to use straight from the bottle, making them ideal for spontaneous meals.
Key Features to Consider When Shopping Lawry's Marinades
- Flavor Profiles: Teriyaki offers sweet-savory Asian notes with pineapple tang, perfect for lighter proteins. Signature Steakhouse delivers robust, smoky garlic-onion punch suited for hearty cuts.
- Packaging: Both come in 12 fl oz bottles; the Teriyaki in a pack of 6 for bulk value and frequent users.
- Ingredients: High-quality, no skimping—real juices and spices ensure penetration and moisture retention.
- Usage Ease: Shake, pour, marinate—no measuring or mixing required.
When choosing, consider your protein and cuisine style. For quick marinades (30 minutes to overnight), both excel, but match flavors to avoid overpowering dishes.
Comparing Lawry's Teriyaki vs. Signature Steakhouse Marinades
The Teriyaki with Pineapple Juice shines for its tropical sweetness, blending soy, ginger, and pineapple to caramelize beautifully on the grill. It's fantastic for chicken wings, pork tenderloin, or salmon, creating a glossy, juicy finish that rivals takeout. Opt for this if you love Asian-inspired meals or want something crowd-pleasing for family gatherings.
In contrast, the Signature Steakhouse Marinade packs a savory wallop with garlic, onion, and red bell pepper, evoking a classic steakhouse sear. It's bolder, ideal for flank steak, ribs, or burgers, where it tenderizes tough cuts while building a flavorful crust. Grill enthusiasts prefer this for its depth in beef-centric cookouts.
Neither disappoints, but Teriyaki suits milder tastes and faster cooks, while Steakhouse thrives on longer marinades for maximum impact. For alternatives, explore McCormick Grill Mates Marinades for smoky varieties or Stubbs Marinades for BBQ authenticity.
Common Use Cases and Tips for Best Results
Lawry's Marinades transform everyday grilling into gourmet experiences. Use Teriyaki for stir-fry skewers or pineapple-glazed ham; Steakhouse for reverse-seared ribeyes or veggie kebabs. Beyond meat, try them on tofu or potatoes for plant-based twists.
- Marinate in the fridge: 30 mins for seafood, 2-24 hours for beef/pork.
- Reserve some marinade for basting (boil first for safety).
- Pat proteins dry post-marinade for better searing.
- Pair with Pantry Staples like rubs for layered flavors.
These marinades elevate dishes without complexity, fitting into busy lifestyles while delivering pro-level taste. They're a staple in our Grocery & Gourmet Food lineup.
