Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, freshly squeezed orange juice, and orange zest.
Whisk in olive oil, minced garlic, honey, and soy sauce until the mixture is well blended.
Add ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes, and whisk again to evenly distribute the spices.
Taste the marinade and adjust the seasoning if necessary (add more honey for sweetness or more chili flakes for heat).
Transfer the marinade to a sealable plastic bag or large airtight container.
Add your desired protein (chicken, pork, beef, or even tofu) to the marinade. Ensure the protein is fully coated by the mixture.
Seal the bag or container and refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours. For best results, marinate overnight to allow flavors to fully develop.
When ready to cook, remove the protein from the marinade and discard the excess liquid.
Cook your protein as desired — grill, bake, or pan-sear for a flavorful dish infused with the tangy and citrusy marinade.
