Easy Marinade
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground mustard seeds (powder would also work)
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground ginger
3 tbsp honey
Combine ingredients together in a small mixing bowl, or a 4-cup measuring cup. Whisk to combine. Place meat (chicken, steak, whatever you got) in large zip-top freezer bag. Pour in marinade and set in fridge for at least 4 hours.
Remove meat from bag, pour remaining marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Use this as extra glaze while you are cooking the meat, or serve on the side.
*I don't always get a chance to do a marinade, but I love to do it. It's so easy to just throw the ingredients together and let the meat soak it all in until you're ready to cook it. If you have some fresh herbs on hand, go ahead and use those in place of the dried herbs. This marinade goes great with chicken, steak, even tofu! Just be sure to boil the leftover marinade to kill all the bacteria. Enjoy!
For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Philippians 2:13

I like to grill a lot and as such am a big fan of Marinades. However I have always been to lazy to try making my own, so this will be a fun recipe to start with, thank you:)
PS. I am realy enjoying a store-bought Sesame-Ginger Mandarin Marinade, maybe you can find some in NJ and reverse engineer the recipe for me.
PPS. If you have a vacum sealer, you can get a hose attachment for it and put your marinade and meat in a freezer bag and "vacum it". It pulls the marinade through the meat so that you get a great flavor down deep, even after you ate off the skin/top layer... delicious!
