Teriyaki-Style Marinade for Pork or Beef

"This is, so far, the best marinade for pork or beef I have ever found. It is non-acidic, which means you can (and should) let the meat marinate for as long as two to three days! Try it; I GUARANTEE you'll like it too!"

ingredients

  • 23 cup soy sauce (I don't recommend the low-sodium stuff)
  • 13 cup vegetable oil

  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 piece fresh gingerroot, pealed and finely chopped (about 2 ounces)
  • 2 -3 tablespoons minced onions

directions

  • Place the soy sauce and oil in a small bowl.
  • Whisk in the molasses, onion, mustard powder, ginger, and garlic; stir well.
  • Place the meat in a non-metallic container in a single layer and pour marinade over the meat.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 36 hours.
  • Turn about every 8 hours or so to expose all sides of the meat to the marinade.
  • Grill or broil to your liking.
  • NOTES: This makes enough marinade for 2 to 3 pounds of meat.
  • It works great on all cuts of pork or beef, but it seems to work especially well for thick pork chops and round or sirloin steaks.
  • I've also substituted up to 2 tablespoons of the oil for dark sesame oil; any more and it overpowers other flavors.
  • You can also use canola oil for this recipe.

  1. Excellent, not-overpowering marinade! I prepared this for my fiance with two huMUUUUUNNNNgo pork chops, let them marinate for 3 days, then he grilled them over oak & apple woods. Wonderful flavor, and he mentioned that the leftovers tasted even better the next day. Thanks so much for posting this, Two Socks!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a very-happily-married man and stay-at-home Dad to my beautiful 10-month-old girl (as of March, 2015). I also see to all the household chores and duties while my wife runs a small music therapy business. I love to cook and bake, and have a major love affair with chocolate and sweets in general. I love charcoal grilling and smoking, as well as baking bread, my cast iron skillet, and recently, I have rediscovered the slow cooker since my favorite food magazine, "Cooks' Illustrated" and the folks at "America's Test Kitchen, came out with their two "Slow Cooker Revolution" books. They are pretty much the only slow cooker recipes I trust to come out well every time. I enjoy making and perfecting the classics, but also like to create new recipes of my own now and then. We are also determined to grow some things in our garden despite the climate is very much against us here. The goal is a variety of herbs and easy-to-grow vegetables, as well as the most elusive of all - tomatoes. I consider m yself a very well-rounded cook in both my food preferrances and culinary abilities.
