Serves Enough for 2 pounds of meat

Ingredients

Lemon juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Soy sauce
3 tablespoons
Honey
4 tablespoons
Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  2. Whisk all the ingredients together until they are fully combined and you have a smooth, viscous marinade. This should take about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the marinade over your chosen meat, making sure it is fully coated. Use a basting brush if necessary to distribute the marinade evenly.
  4. Cover the marinated meat and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For best results, marinate it overnight to let the flavors penetrate deeply into the meat.
  5. After marinating, cook your meat as desired. The remaining marinade can be used as a basting sauce while cooking, just be sure to boil it first to kill any bacteria from the raw meat.

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicier kick, consider adding a teaspoon of finely chopped fresh chili or a dash of chili flakes to the marinade.
  • 💡 For a vegan alternative, try this marinade on tofu or tempeh. Just be sure to press the tofu first to remove excess water and allow better absorption of the marinade.
