I had some backstrap marinated in some Pelliteri's Marinade for Saturday but my family had other plans so I saved it and grilled it last night to a perfect medium rare. There was about a half of a backstrap uneaten this evening so I cut it into bite sized chunks and half a Vidalia and sautéed them in a butter bath until onions were clear and beginning to caramelize. That simple concoction may have been as tasty as any deer meat I've ever had. Think caramelized Vidalia and deer meat swimming in drawn butter to get an idea of the taste.

I've never heard of Pelliteri's marinade before but it was in the fridge, I later learned my son bought it to marinade a steak for a cookout they had. It looks like Dale's but has a different taste and includes lemon juice. It really helped break down the meat and tenderize it, plus had a really good flavor.

Sounds great. That MrP's marinade will make you throw a bottle of Dale's in the trash. Their dry seasonings are top notch too. The lemon pepper, blue top butter n herbs, and black/orange label bold are my favorites.

Sounds real good. My favorite marinade is Allegro. Dales and it's likeness are too salty for me.

I didn't realize until the Alabama Living Co-Op magazine came out a couple weeks ago that the Pelliteri's and Moore's marinade is made in Alabama. Click the link below and scroll down to the bottom to read about it. Our local Foodland carries the Pelliteri's spices/rubs too.

Alabama Made Sauces

Totally agreed. Little butcher shop on top of Shades Mtn above Homewood. They make their own italian sausage and have good deli sammiches too.

Allegro is fantastic & I was fortunate to find it by accident. A relative had left it in my girlfriends fridge. The hickory smoke variety was delicious on thick boneless chops.

All the pillitari's stuff is really really good. I like there bbq sauce as well.

Pilliteries+ garlic powder+ onion powder = best steak marinade ever
