Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Whisk well to form the base of the marinade.
Add the honey and Dijon mustard to the bowl. Whisk vigorously until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Squeeze in the lemon juice, then add the minced garlic, fresh rosemary, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt. Stir everything together until evenly combined.
Taste the marinade and adjust sweetness (add more honey), salt, or tanginess (add more lemon juice), if desired.
Pour the marinade over your protein or vegetables of choice, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
When ready to cook, remove the protein or vegetables from the marinade and cook as desired—grill, roast, sear, or bake.
