Ingredients

  • 10 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
  2. Place your choice of meat in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the meat, making sure it is well coated. If using a bag, seal it tightly, removing as much air as possible.
  4. Marinate the meat in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. The longer the marinating time, the more flavorful the meat will be.
  5. When ready to cook, remove the meat from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
  6. Grill, broil, or roast the meat according to your preference until cooked to your desired doneness.
  7. Let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  8. Slice or serve the meat as desired, and enjoy!
