Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and honey. Whisk well until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is uniform.
Add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, ground black pepper, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and salt to the bowl. Whisk again to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
Transfer the marinade to a resealable plastic bag, a large bowl, or an airtight container, depending on your preference and the size of the meat or vegetables you'll be marinating.
Place your chosen meat, tofu, or vegetables into the marinade, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly coated. For best results, turn the pieces in the marinade a few times to ensure even distribution.
Seal or cover the container and refrigerate. Allow the meat or ingredients to marinate for at least 2 hours, but preferably up to 8 hours or overnight, depending on the protein type and thickness.
When ready to cook, remove the items from the marinade and shake off any excess. Cook as desired (grill, roast, pan-sear, etc.), and enjoy the deliciously infused flavors!
