Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the honey is fully dissolved.
Use the marinade immediately by pouring it over your choice of protein or vegetables. Ensure the ingredients are evenly coated by tossing or turning as needed.
For best results, cover and refrigerate the marinated ingredients for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more intense flavor.
Before cooking, discard any leftover marinade that has come into contact with raw protein. Cook the marinated food using your preferred method, such as grilling, baking, or pan-searing.
