Yes and yes! Marinating any cut of beef tenderizes it and produces a better flavor.Whether you use a wet marinade or a dry rub will often depend on the type of flavor you're after and how much time you have. For this recipe, we marinate the beef overnight in a homemade dry rub.NOTE: Avoid marinating any cut of beef for longer than 24 hours. If you do, the muscle fibers in the meat begin to break down, and that destroys the flavor and texture.
