Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Frozen orange juice concentrate
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 2 pounds Beef (steaks, strips, or cubes)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the frozen orange juice concentrate, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, ground black pepper, and ground ginger. Whisk together until well blended.
Place the beef (steaks, strips, or cubes) in a large resealable plastic bag or a glass dish with a lid.
Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly.
Refrigerate the beef in the marinade for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight for maximum flavor absorption. Turn the beef occasionally to ensure even marination.
When ready to cook, remove the beef from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
Discard the used marinade, or if desired, bring it to a boil in a saucepan to use as a sauce (ensure it is fully boiled for food safety).
Cook the beef according to your preferred method (grilling, roasting, or pan-searing) until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Serve immediately and enjoy the tangy, citrus-forward flavors!
