Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup Freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, freshly squeezed orange juice, and orange zest.

Step 2

Whisk in olive oil, minced garlic, honey, and soy sauce until the mixture is well blended.

Step 3

Add ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes, and whisk again to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 4

Taste the marinade and adjust the seasoning if necessary (add more honey for sweetness or more chili flakes for heat).

Step 5

Transfer the marinade to a sealable plastic bag or large airtight container.

Step 6

Add your desired protein (chicken, pork, beef, or even tofu) to the marinade. Ensure the protein is fully coated by the mixture.

Step 7

Seal the bag or container and refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours. For best results, marinate overnight to allow flavors to fully develop.

Step 8

When ready to cook, remove the protein from the marinade and discard the excess liquid.
