Balsamic Garlic Marinade Recipes

THE BEST EASY BALSAMIC STEAK MARINADE RECIPE

Steps:

• Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
• Pour the marinade into a gallon zip lock freezer bag. Add the steaks, seal the bag, and move them around to coat well.
• Marinate for at least 3 hours and no more than 8 hours. (More may result in mushy meat.)
• Cook sirloin steaks as desired on the grill, or cook steaks in the oven like this.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN {EASY MARINADE}

Steps:

• Place chicken in a gallon size resealable bag (or you can use a bowl).
• In a mixing bowl whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Pour marinade over chicken in bag (or bowl). Seal bag while pressing out excess air.
• Rub marinade over chicken (I also like to twist and tie top of bag so marinade fully covers the chicken).
• Let marinade in fridge for 2 to 8 hours for breasts and 2 to 24 hours for thighs.
• Heat over medium-high heat to 400 degrees. Partway through heating don't forget to clean and oil grill grates (with a little vegetable oil or olive oil using tongs and a balled up paper towel).
• Remove chicken from marinade while shaking excess marinade off back into bag. Transfer to grill and cook covered about 5 to 8 minutes per side.
• Cook time varies based on thickness, check internal temperature of chicken in thickest portion to 165 degrees for doneness.
• Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.

(This is a good time to place packet potatoes or a vegetable packet over the hot side of the grill to go with your steak. Don't forget to turn them occasionally while your steak cooks).
