I have never been great at following recipes to the letter and that goes
double for marinade recipes. They usually call for enough to feed a
large family and still have way too much. I look at the proportions and
reduce the amount to get enough marinade for two or three servings. I
also tend use a zip lock or a plastic bag inside a large bowl and reduce
the space instead of using 3-4 times the amount of marinade, most of
which gets wasted.

I would certainly not save marinade that has been used with meat.
However, there have been marinades that can be used in a sauce after it
has done its magic with the meat. It gets cooked over heat so there is
no more of a problem with the meat contamination than there is with the
meat itself.
