Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, honey, and brown sugar. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk again to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.

Step 3

Transfer the marinade to a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish large enough to hold your meat. Set aside.

Step 4

Prepare your choice of meat (such as chicken, beef, pork, or lamb) by patting it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 5

Place the meat in the marinade, ensuring it is completely coated. If using a bag, seal it tightly and lay it flat in the refrigerator. If using a dish, cover it with plastic wrap.

Step 6

Allow the meat to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably 4–6 hours. For tougher cuts of meat, marinate up to 12 hours for optimal flavor.

Step 7

When ready to grill, remove the meat from the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the used marinade.

Step 8

Proceed to grill your meat as desired, ensuring it is cooked through to the recommended internal temperature.
