    I'm in love with this Teriyaki Marinade! Get yourself some venison soaking in this, and you know you're in for a delicious meal. Best part? It's amazing cold. So I love to make extra and have it on a salad the next day.

    It was really hard to get this picture. I had Marius standing over my shoulder grabbing bites inbetween photos asking "Can we eat yet, can we eat yet?" You'd swear he was the three year old.

    In the photo I used venison tenderloins. (Not the big backstrap tenderloins that are more common, but the inner rib cage melt-in-your-mouth-like-butter ones. I think you have to butcher your own meat to know the difference.) And it was so worth it. This is a marinade recipe you need in your back pocket to wow people!

    The amazing thing is that you buy the cheapest balsamic you can...because you're just going to be reducing it! I love fancy meals that are easy on the budget.

    While I've never used any meat but venison for this, I KNOW it would be amazing with any other meat. Especially red meat or chicken! It could easily pair up with pork or salmon.

    Ingredients
      

    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 1 onion
    • 9 cloves garlic
    • 2 cups balsamic vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons tamari, Or soy sauce. Do yourself a favour and get a decent healthy brand
    • ½ teaspoon sea salt
    • 2 tablespoons sweet rice vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon honey

    Instructions
     

    • Sauce the onion and garlic in butter over medium heat.
    • Add balsamic vinegar, get it bubbling, then turn down and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
    • Whisk in the tamari, salt, rice vinegar and honey.
    • Pour some of the Balsamic Teriyaki Marinade over your meat of choice in a liquid tight container. You don't need to cover, just coat. About ½ cup per pound of meat will work great. The longer it sits the better, but at least 2-3 hours. I have some chicken breasts sitting it it right now for 36 hours. They're going to rock my world.
    • To cook, look up specific time directions in a book such as Better Home and Gardens for what cut and type of meat you're using. These tenderloins did 3 minutes per side on a medium-high heat grill. I find with red meat, teriyaki is best good and rare!

    Notes

    • Adapted from Steamy Kitchen cookbook.
    • Marinates about 5 pounds of meat. I like to freeze portions as it's a bit more labour intensive marinate to make)
    • Makes 1 cup

      Haha, there's probably a support group out there for the partners of food bloggers - "...and then she wouldn't let me eat my dinner until she'd photographed it! How cruel is that?!" This sounds especially delicious!

      Are you going to do a review of the Steamy Kitchen Cookbook? I love her blog but haven't thought of buying the book...

        Marius would join that in a heart beat. "I asked her not to post photos of me or talk about me...and then she did anyways..."

        I have photos taken of the Steamy Kitchen Cookbook to blog about it! Maybe I'll ignore chores and do that this morning...
