Ingredients:

Quantity	Ingredient
4	Honey
1 1/2	Ginger
1 1/2	Garlic cloves
1/2	Green onions
2	Soy sauce
1/4	Rice vinegar

Instructions:

Whisk ingredients together: In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic cloves, thinly sliced green onions, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir vigorously until all the ingredients are well incorporated, and a fragrant marinade forms.
Marinate your meat: Once the marinade is ready, place your choice of meat in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated. For optimal flavor infusion, allow chicken to marinate for 4-6 hours in the refrigerator, while flank steak benefits from marinating for 8 hours or more.
Chill and relax: Cover the marinated meat and refrigerate it for the specified time, allowing the flavors to meld and permeate the meat thoroughly.
Fire up the grill: When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the marinated meat from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to take the chill off.
Grill to perfection: Place the marinated meat on the preheated grill and cook to your desired level of doneness, flipping halfway through the cooking process to ensure even browning. The honey ginger marinade will caramelize beautifully, imparting a gorgeous glaze and irresistible aroma to your grilled masterpiece.
Serve and enjoy: Once the meat is cooked to perfection, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Then, slice it against the grain and serve hot, garnished with additional sliced green onions or a drizzle of extra marinade, if desired. Pair with your favorite side dishes or a vibrant pineapple salsa for a complete tropical feast 🌺.

Whether you’re hosting a laid-back barbecue with friends or simply craving a taste of paradise on a weeknight, this Honey Ginger Marinade is sure to become a staple in your culinary repertoire. With its irresistible blend of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, it’s the perfect way to add a touch of tropical flair to your grilling adventures.
