Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Add the Dijon mustard and whisk again until smooth and emulsified.
Stir in the minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix thoroughly to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Place your chosen meat (chicken, beef, pork, lamb, or even tofu) in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the marinated meat for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for a deeper flavor. Turn the meat occasionally to ensure even marinating.
When ready to cook, remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear or grill mark. Discard the used marinade.
Cook the meat according to your preferred method (grilling, roasting, or pan-searing) and enjoy the sensational flavor in every bite!
