Soy-Dijon Marinade
Episode 107: Soy Dijon Marinade
This is my "classic" marinade. It combines Dijon mustard-the best mustard, in my opinion-with soy sauce, wine, and herbs to produce a truly enhancing blend. I mean, this marinade really does the job, and not only for meat and poultry, but also for thick-fleshed mushrooms like portobellos or creminis.
Makes 6 cups
Lasts 2 weeks, refrigerated
Ingredients
1/4 cup cracked black peppercorns, plus freshly ground black pepper to taste
Kosher salt to taste
1 cup red wine
1 1/2 cups Dijon mustard
1/2 cup naturally brewed soy sauce
8 sprigs of fresh thyme, chopped, or 2 tablespoons dried
1/2 cup minced garlic
2 1/2 cups canola oil
Directions
In a small, dry sauté pan, heat the peppercorns over medium-high heat, stirring, until the peppercorns are fragrant and just begin to smoke, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium nonreactive bowl and add the salt, wine, mustard, soy sauce, thyme, and garlic. Whisk in the canola oil gradually to emulsify the mixture. Use or store.
Try it:
This is great for marinating "steak" fish like salmon and swordfish. Marinate the fish for 1 hour before cooking it.
Brush the marinade on roasted vegetables such as corn or portobellos.
Great for marinating chicken, pork chops, or steak before grilling or broiling.
