Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup canned pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp hot water
  • 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp sea salt

  • Add the soy sauce, pineapple juice, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, and sea salt. Mix well.
    1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup oyster sauce, 3 tbsp rice vinegar, 1/2 tbsp onion powder, 1/4 tbsp garlic powder, 2 tsp sea salt
  • Place your choice of skirt steak, chicken, or skewers into the bowl or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the meat.
  • Cover and marinate the meat in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. For tough cuts of red meat go for 8 hours. Do not marinate chicken more than 4 hours. Fish only needs 15-30 minutes. Do not overmarinate.
  • Cook over flame for best flavors, grill, pan-sear, or bake until done. Brush extra marinade on as a glaze during the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor.

Notes

This recipe is for about a pound of meat. Multiply for a larger volume of meat.
Do not skip pineapple juice: This will tenderize tough cuts of red meat.
Glaze It: Reserve a little marinade before adding raw meat and brush it over during the last few minutes of grilling.
Don’t Over-Marinate Fish: 15 minutes is enough for fish to avoid breaking down. It's better to use to glaze or stir fry with fish. 
Don't overmarinate.
