Ingredients

• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 cloves fresh garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.

Step 2

Add the Dijon mustard and whisk again until smooth and emulsified.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix thoroughly to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Place your chosen meat (chicken, beef, pork, lamb, or even tofu) in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 6

Refrigerate the marinated meat for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for a deeper flavor. Turn the meat occasionally to ensure even marinating.

Step 7

When ready to cook, remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear or grill mark. Discard the used marinade.

Step 8

Cook the meat according to your preferred method (grilling, roasting, or pan-searing) and enjoy the sensational flavor in every bite!
