Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary in the marinade. If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce can be a great substitute. Adjust the garlic according to your taste, and remember that marinating longer enhances the flavor profile. For a twist, try adding a splash of honey for sweetness, which pairs beautifully with grilled meats.
