Serves 4

Ingredients

Pineapple juice
1 cup
Brown sugar
1/3 cup
Soy sauce
1/4 cup
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Fresh ginger
1 tablespoon, grated
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Lime juice
2 tablespoons (optional, for extra tang)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. For an extra tangy kick, add the lime juice and mix well.
  3. Place your choice of meat (chicken, pork, or fish) in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish.
  4. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is fully coated.
  5. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  6. When ready to cook, remove the meat from the marinade, discarding the used marinade.
  7. Cook your marinated meat according to your preferred method - grilling, baking, or pan-searing until fully cooked.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
  • 💡 This marinade works beautifully with vegetables as well; try marinating bell peppers and zucchini for a colorful side dish.
  • 💡 If you're short on time, marinate for at least 30 minutes, but longer is always better!
