Did you know that marinades are a waste of time and ingrediants? Marinades are popular for the variety of flavors you can add to meat. But the problem is marinades can't penetrate the inside of meat. It will flavor the outside similar to a dry rub or a basting, but none of the flavor will penetrate inside the meat.
>but what about salt or acids?Salt brines do work and I highly recommend brining your meats, it is different from marinades. As for acidity, the acid can affect the texture of the meat but not the flavor.
>but what about my heckin beef bulgogi or al pastor???If you slice your meat so thin that the marinade makes up 75% of your dish, obviously the flavor from the marinade will outweigh the flavor of the meat. If you use a cut of meat thats not the size of your pinky, the marinade will not add much flavor.
>so what do i do?Simply turn that marinade into a sauce, this will add much more flavor to your meat as opposed to wasting a bunch of ingrediants on a thick steak that you end up washing off before cooking. Wake up people.
