Elevate your grilling game with this versatile and flavor-packed Marinade for Meat, Poultry, or Fish! Combining the bold umami of soy sauce and Worcestershire with the zesty brightness of lemon juice, this marinade strikes the perfect balance of savory, tangy, and slightly sweet, thanks to a drizzle of honey. Aromatic minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and a medley of spices like oregano and paprika deepen the flavor profile, making this quick 10-minute recipe a go-to for all your protein needs. Ideal for beef, chicken, pork, or fish, this marinade tenderizes while infusing rich flavor, ensuring every bite is irresistibly delicious. Perfect for grilling, roasting, or pan-searing, itβs a must-try for effortless meal prep or your next cookout.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Add the honey, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard, and continue whisking until the honey is fully dissolved.
Sprinkle in the black pepper, dried oregano, and paprika, mixing thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Place your choice of meat, poultry, or fish into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the protein, ensuring it is fully coated.
Seal the bag (pressing out excess air) or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate.
For optimal flavor, marinate beef or pork for at least 4-12 hours, chicken for 2-6 hours, and fish for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
When ready to cook, remove the protein from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Cook your protein using your preferred method (grilling, baking, pan-searing, etc.) and enjoy!
