You could do a dry rub that uses salt to tenderize the meat and herbs to add flavor. Or you could use a liquid marinade and incorporate citrus or vinegar. The acidity from the citrus or vinegar will help tenderize the meat while also adding lots of flavor.
Typically Worcestershire, soy sauce or beer are added, and sweeteners such as sugar or honey are used as well. Once you have your marinade made, the next step is to allow the meat to absorb as much as possible.
