Another idea to add even more flavor and tenderness is to marinate your meats overnight in the fridge (don’t leave them out on the counter!). Use mason jars or food storage bags to marinate your meats and these sauce ideas:

  • Zesty shrimp marinade: ¼ cup olive oil, ½ tsp chili powder, 3 Tbs lemon juice. Whisk well to combine and add shrimp. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Teriyaki beef or pork marinade:  ½ cup sugar, ½ cup soy sauce, ½ cup ketchup, 1 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp ground ginger. Whisk well to combine and add 1 pound of cubed beef or pork steak. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Maple chicken marinade: 2 tsp olive oil, 1 Tbs grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, ½ cup teriyaki sauce, 3 Tbs maple syrup, ½ cup chicken broth, 2 Tbs orange juice, 1 tsp sriracha sauce, 1 Tbs cornstarch, 1 Tbs water. Whisk well to combine and add cubed chicken breast. Refrigerate overnight.
