Red Wine and Garlic Marinade

Introducing the Red Wine and Garlic Marinade - a centuries-old secret passed down through generations. This marinade, brimming with the richness of red wine and the robust flavor of garlic, is an absolute game-changer. It's versatile and can work its magic on beef, lamb, or chicken, infusing them with a depth of flavor that is both exquisite and tantalizing. The sweetness of honey, the savory punch of soy sauce, and the aromatic hint of rosemary come together to create a symphony of flavors that will elevate your grilling game.

Servings: Enough marinade for 2 lbs of meat

Ingredients

  • Fresh Rosemary (1 tablespoon, finely chopped)
  • Black Pepper (1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground)
  • Honey (1 tablespoon)
  • Soy Sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1/4 cup)
  • Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
  • Dry Red Wine (1 cup)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the dry red wine, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, soy sauce, honey, freshly ground black pepper, and finely chopped rosemary. This forms the base of your marinade.
  2. Whisk these ingredients until they create a homogeneous mixture. The honey should be fully dissolved to ensure an even distribution of sweetness.
  3. Choose your meat - be it beef, lamb, or chicken. Place it in a large resealable bag.
  4. Pour your freshly prepared marinade over the meat. Ensure every inch of the meat is covered in the marinade for an even flavor profile.
  5. Seal the bag, taking care to remove as much air as possible. This helps the marinade to fully permeate the meat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For a deeper, more intense flavor, marinate overnight.
  6. When you're ready to cook, remove the meat from the marinade, shaking off the excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Cook the meat as per your recipe or preference.
