• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly to ensure all the spices are nicely incorporated.

Step 3

Taste the marinade and adjust the seasoning to your preference, adding a pinch of salt or a bit more honey if needed for balance.

Place your choice of protein (meat, tofu, or vegetables) in a resealable plastic bag or a large shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the contents, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate. For best results, marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
