INSTRUCTIONS:

Use this marinade on meats like skirt steak, thin-sliced pork chops, boneless chicken thighs, or tofu. Salt your meat (about 5g/1 tsp per pound) and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Combine your meat and half of the marinade into a gallon sized plastic bag. Marinate for 20-30 minutes in the fridge.
If using skirt steak, grill on a very hot, oiled grill for about 4 minutes on the first side, Flip the steaks and cook for another 3 minutes until the meat is 130℉/55℃ internal temperature.
Rest steaks for 10 minutes, then brush on reserved marinade & slice.
