Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is fully emulsified.
Place the pork (chops, tenderloin, or other cut) in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the meat.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate. Allow the pork to marinate for at least 2 hours, but for best results, let it sit overnight.
Before cooking, remove the pork from the marinade and let it come to room temperature, about 20-30 minutes.
Discard the used marinade or boil it for at least 5 minutes if you’d like to use it as a sauce or glaze.
Cook the pork as desired—grill, roast, or pan-sear—until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving for a fresh, flavorful finish.
