Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce low-sodium, if you have it
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon French's Classic Yellow Mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced or smashed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt only if using low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Whisk together all ingredients in a measuring cup.
  • To use: pour marinade over 1 pound steak (such as skirt steak, London broil, or flank steak) or 1 pound chicken (breasts or thighs). Let sit in the marinade for at least 4 hours. Allow meat to come to room temperature before cooking. Discard any leftover marinade.
  • To grill: preheat grill to medium high heat. Sear the meat on each side, cooking until desired doneness (165°F for chicken breasts, 175-190°F for thighs). For skirt steak, cook 3-5 minutes per side for medium rare to medium.

Notes

  • Always cook chicken until completely cooked through and no longer pink (165°F for boneless breasts and 175-190°F for thighs).
  • For steak, you'll want 125-130° for rare, 130-140° for medium rare, 140-150°F for medium, 150-160° for medium well and over 160° for well done).
  • This marinade is great on any cut of steak, we just usually use flank steak or skirt steak.
  • The longer your meat marinades the better it will taste.
  • Discard any leftover marinade. It will make you sick if you eat it.
