Beef Or Pork Marinade
A flavorful marinade combining soy or teriyaki sauce, garlic, barbecue, honey, and optional ingredients like beer and hoisin for tender, savory meats suited for grilling or roasting.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together soy or teriyaki sauce, lots of garlic, barbecue sauce, honey or sugar, and optional beer and hoisin sauce.
- Marinate the beef or pork in the mixture for at least one hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, consider using fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder. If you prefer a sweeter marinade, opt for honey, but sugar can work just as well. You can substitute the soy sauce with coconut aminos for a gluten-free option. To enhance the umami flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce. If you want a spicy kick, toss in some red pepper flakes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the marinated beef or pork with grilled vegetables or over a bed of rice for a hearty meal. It pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad, such as Beth'S Salad Dressing, or even alongside a side of Hamburger Minestrone Soup for a comforting dinner. Consider serving with crusty bread to soak up the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover marinade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you've marinated meat, it can be stored in the fridge for up to three days before cooking. Reheat cooked beef or pork gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this marinade for chicken or tofu?
Yes, this marinade works beautifully with chicken and tofu as well. For chicken, marinate for at least one hour, or overnight for best flavor. For tofu, press to remove excess moisture and marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
How long should I marinate the meat?
For optimal flavor, marinate the beef or pork for at least one hour, but no more than 24 hours. Marinating for too long can break down the proteins and affect the texture, especially for tender cuts.
