Grilled Skirt Steak with Homemade Asian Barbeque Marinade image

The problem with bottled sauces and marinades is that the only words you recognize on the ingredients list are 'high fructose corn syrup,' and 'dehydrated garlic.' Hopefully, you will see just how simple this sauce is to make. Not only is it MSG-free, but the flavor is far superior to any of those supermarket bottles.

ASIAN PORK STEAKS (MARINADE)



Asian Pork Steaks (Marinade) image

My Vietnamese fiance taught this to me. It has a strong flavor, so I serve it over a bed of rice with steamed veggies on the side. Regular Soy sauce works fine, but I prefer the low-sodium to ease the saltiness. You can fry, grill or broil the steaks, depending upon your taste. Very simple though! Prep time includes marinating, and cook time is for frying the steaks. --ETA-- I've made these as a dump recipe, and they worked great! I pour all the ingredients into a freezer bag, and when I wanted to cook them, I let them thaw overnight in the fridge. NOTE-- When you marinate them in a zippered bag, you only need half of the sauce to cover all the pork.

MARINADE ESSENTIALS: ASIAN FUSION SAUCE



Marinade Essentials: Asian Fusion Sauce image

This is my go-to marinade and brushing sauce when I'm grilling chicken, pork, or beef. The mixture of the ingredients imparts a sweet/sour Asian flavor that's wonderful on the palette. What I love about this recipe, is that it doesn't overpower the meal... You get great flavor, but you can still taste the other...

Provided by Andy Anderson !

Categories     Marinades

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

PLAN/PURCHASE
1/2 c tamari sauce
1/2 c filtered water
3 Tbsp coconut sugar
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp sushi vinegar
1 Tbsp sesame oil, hot or mild, your choice
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Chef's Note: I will admit that, when it comes to sauces and marinades, I have been on a tear. But, I am so sick and tired of that bottled junk that passes for sauce. And when you put it on your chicken, pork or beef, it coats it in this goopy mess that is so overpowering, you no longer taste the original ingredient. So, down with most bottled sauces, an up with homemade. Let the revolution begin!!!
  • 3. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 4. Place all the ingredients into a small saucepan.
  • 5. Slowly bring up to a simmer, while stirring.
  • 6. Remove from heat, place into a sealable glass container, and allow to cool.
  • 7. Seal, and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • 8. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 9. Use this sauce as an overnight marinade for chicken, pork, or beef.
  • 10. Grill, pan fry, or bake until cooked to your desire, and brush on additional marinade while cooking. Enjoy.
  • 11. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Different cuts of meat have different textures and flavors, so it's important to choose one that will work well with your marinade. For example, flank steak or skirt steak are good choices for marinating, as they are relatively thin and cook quickly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the meat its flavor, so it's important to use one that is packed with flavor. Use a variety of ingredients, such as soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar, to create a marinade that is both savory and sweet.
  • Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours: Marinating the meat for too short a time will not give it enough time to absorb the flavors of the marinade, while marinating it for too long can make the meat tough. Aim to marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
  • Cook the meat over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the meat and keep the inside juicy. If you are grilling the meat, cook it over direct heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the meat rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful. Let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Asian marinades are a great way to add flavor and tenderness to your favorite meats and vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will make your next meal a hit. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook your favorite proteins, try using an Asian marinade. You won't be disappointed.
