Many Use Marinade
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup chili sauce or ketchup
1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoon dried parsley
1½ teaspoons dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dry mustard
Combine all ingredients in a large zip-top bag. Add desired protein, seal bag, squeezing out as much air as possible, and shake gently to combine.
Marinating times vary based on your protein; flank steak or pork tenderloin - overnight, chicken breasts - at least a couple hours if possible. Be careful not to leave the meat in too long, as you don't want to spoil its texture.
One recipe makes enough marinade for one large flank steak, two pork tenderloin or roughly 6 to 8 chicken breasts. Good on all types of protein, except fish.
