Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start by gathering all the ingredients and pots. In a mixing bowl, I whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, black pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika. The sweet and savory aroma will hit you right away—a reminder of why I adore this marinade! Once the mixture is well combined, taste it. Feel free to adjust the balance to your liking, adding more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tang. It’s all about finding that perfect flavor! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
