Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: soy sauce, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and sugar.
- Select a medium-sized mixing bowl that can accommodate all ingredients and provides enough room for whisking.
- Pour 1 cup of soy sauce into the mixing bowl as the base liquid for the marinade.
- Add 1/2 cup of olive oil to the soy sauce, which will help create a smooth, emulsified marinade and add richness.
- Measure and pour 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar into the mixture, which will provide a tangy flavor and help tenderize the meat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of freshly minced garlic to the liquid ingredients, ensuring even distribution for maximum flavor.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of ground black pepper into the marinade for a robust, spicy undertone.
- Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to balance the saltiness of the soy sauce and enhance overall flavor profile.
- Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the marinade appears well-combined.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For best results, marinate meats for 2-4 hours before cooking, turning occasionally to ensure even flavor absorption.
Tips
- For maximum flavor infusion, always marinate in a non-reactive container like glass or food-grade plastic.
- Ensure your meat is at room temperature before marinating to help it absorb flavors more effectively.
- Never reuse marinade that has been in contact with raw meat - always discard and make a fresh batch for basting or serving.
- The longer you marinate (within reason), the more flavorful your meat will become - aim for 2-4 hours for optimal results.
- For extra tenderness, consider using a fork to create small punctures in the meat before marinating to help the flavors penetrate deeper.
- Store any unused marinade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For best results, bring marinated meats to room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling or cooking.
