Mrs. Both'S Meat Marinade
Mrs. Both's Meat Marinade offers a savory blend of soy, honey, and garlic, perfect for enhancing any cut of meat with rich, sweet, and tangy flavors. Ideal for quick, flavorful meals.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine soy sauce, honey, wine vinegar, garlic (powder or minced), ginger, oil, and chopped scallions in a bowl.
- Marinate any cut of meat in the mixture for at least 30 minutes to absorb flavors.
- Cook the meat as desired, such as grilling, baking, or pan-frying, until fully cooked.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of sesame oil or substituting the honey with maple syrup for a vegan option. If you're short on time, marinating for just 15 minutes can still impart a decent flavor, but aim for at least 30 for best results. This marinade works well with chicken or pork, making it versatile for various meals.
Serving Suggestions
This marinade pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Serve your marinated meat alongside steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal, and consider a side of Hawaii's Royal Tea to complement the flavors. For a festive touch, add a Cran-Apple Sparkler to your beverage options.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover marinade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you've marinated meat, keep it in the fridge and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness. Reheat cooked meat gently in a pan over low heat to retain moisture, or enjoy it cold in salads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this marinade for vegetables?
Yes! This marinade can enhance the flavor of grilled or roasted vegetables. Just make sure to marinate them for a shorter time, about 15-20 minutes, to prevent them from becoming too soft. It’s a great way to incorporate more flavors into your vegan recipes.
How long can I marinate the meat?
For optimal flavor and tenderness, marinate your meat for at least 30 minutes, but you can go up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. Just be cautious with delicate proteins like fish; they only need about 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavors without becoming mushy.
What kind of meat works best with this marinade?
This marinade is incredibly versatile and works well with chicken, pork, or even beef. Chicken thighs or pork chops will absorb the flavors beautifully, while beef can be marinated for a bolder taste. Adjust the marinating time according to the type of meat for the best results.
