Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 3 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoons Honey
- 1 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and water until well blended.
Add the finely minced garlic, salt, ground black pepper, and honey to the bowl. Whisk until the honey dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the white wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Continue whisking until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the marinade through a fine mesh strainer to remove any large garlic pieces, ensuring the mixture is smooth for injecting.
Transfer the strained marinade into a clean container or directly into a marinade injector.
Use the injector to infuse the marinade into your choice of meat, ensuring even distribution for maximum flavor. Inject the marinade into thick sections of the meat at an angle for best results.
Let the meat rest for at least 1-2 hours in the refrigerator, or overnight for deeper flavor penetration, before cooking.
Discard any unused marinade to avoid contamination and proceed with your preferred cooking method (grilling, roasting, etc.).
