How to Make Soy Ginger Marinade

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, honey, and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Add the steak (or other protein) to a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated.
  3. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 2 days.
  4. Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the meat to your desired doneness (approximately 5 minutes per side for medium-rare steak).
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!
