Title: Meat Marinade
Ingredients:
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and paprika. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Place your choice of meat – whether it’s chicken breasts, pork chops, or steak – in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Ensure the meat is evenly spaced and flat to allow for maximum absorption of the marinade.
3. Pour the prepared marinade over the meat, making sure it coats all sides. If using a dish, cover it with plastic wrap. If using a bag, seal it tightly, removing any excess air before sealing.
4. Marinate the meat in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate longer – ideally leaving it overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat thoroughly. Remember to flip the meat halfway through marinating to ensure even coating.
5. When you’re ready to cook, remove the marinated meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before grilling, baking, or pan-searing according to your preference.
6. Discard any leftover marinade that the meat was soaking in – do not reuse it for food safety reasons.
7. Cook the marinated meat to your desired level of doneness, ensuring it reaches a safe internal temperature. Baste the meat with any excess marinade while cooking for an extra burst of flavor and moisture.
8. Once the meat is cooked to perfection, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and keep the meat tender and juicy.
