How to Make Any Meat Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, brown sugar, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper.
  2. Use a fork to pierce the meat several times, creating pockets for the marinade to penetrate.
  3. Place the meat in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill or broil the marinated meat for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level (145°F for pork, 160°F for ground meats).
  6. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
