Ginger Soy Sauce Marinade

  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon pineapple juice
  • 2 Tablespoons minced ginger
  • ¼ Cup soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 2 Tablespoons dry red wine or balsamic vinegar
  • 1/8 Cup of cayenne pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic

Directions

  1. Take a small piece of ginger and cut it into slivers. Do the same for 1 clove of garlic. Fresh ginger and garlic are best, but pre-minced garlic and ginger will work.
  2. Pour the extra virgin olive oil, pineapple juice, and soy sauce into a medium size bowl.
  3. Add the minced ginger and garlic to the bowl and stir the contents together.
  4. After the minced ginger and garlic are thoroughly soaked, pour the dry red wine or balsamic vinegar into the bowl.
  5. Mix the tablespoon of honey with the cayenne pepper together before adding them to the other ingredients for maximum flavor.
  6. Stir the ingredients together in the bowl for 2 to 3 minutes. Let the ginger soy sauce sit for half an hour for the different flavors to blend.
  7. After a half hour, pour the ginger soy sauce marinade onto the meat. Rub the sauce over the entire meat surface.
  8. Place the bowl or container holding the meat in the fridge for at least two hours before cooking.
