Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, and honey. Whisk together until the mixture is well-blended and the honey is fully dissolved.
Add the minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and salt to the bowl. Whisk again to evenly incorporate the seasonings.
Place your beef or pork cuts into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is completely coated.
Seal the bag tightly (or cover the dish with plastic wrap) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 12 hours for maximum flavor infusion. Turn the meat occasionally to ensure even marination.
Once marinated, remove the meat from the marinade and discard the liquid. Prepare the beef or pork using your preferred cooking method such as grilling, roasting, or pan-searing.
Allow cooked meat to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving to retain its juices and flavor.
