Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and oil, whisking them together until fully blended.
- Gradually whisk in the molasses, followed by the finely chopped onion, mustard powder, grated ginger, and minced garlic, ensuring a smooth and well-mixed marinade.
- Arrange the meat in a non-metallic container in a single layer, then pour the marinade evenly over the surface, making sure to cover all pieces thoroughly.
- Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 12 hours, allowing up to 36 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
- To ensure even marination, turn the meat every 8 hours, allowing all sides to soak up the marinade.
- When ready to cook, grill or broil the marinated meat to your preferred level of doneness.
Notes
- This recipe yields enough marinade for approximately 2 to 3 pounds of meat, making it versatile for various cuts.
- While it works beautifully for all types of pork or beef, it is particularly effective for thick pork chops and round or sirloin steaks.
- Feel free to substitute up to 2 tablespoons of oil with dark sesame oil for an added depth of flavor; however, use it sparingly to prevent overpowering the other ingredients.
- Canola oil also works perfectly for this recipe if you prefer a milder taste.
Try this teriyaki-style marinade for an unforgettable culinary experience that your taste buds will thank you for!
