Miso Marinade for Meat
A three-ingredient marinade that transforms any cut — even a simple pork chop becomes something genuinely memorable.
Ingredients
| 3 oz (85g) | red miso | |
| 2 tablespoons (30ml) | mirin | |
| 2 tablespoons (30ml) | sake | |
| 1 tablespoon (15ml) | soy sauce | |
| 1 teaspoon | 5 ml | grated fresh ginger |
Instructions
- Whisk together all ingredients until smooth.
- Coat the meat generously on all sides with the marinade.
- Place in a zip-lock bag or covered container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- Before cooking, gently wipe off excess marinade to prevent burning.
- Grill, pan-sear, or broil as desired. Use medium heat and watch carefully — miso sugars caramelize quickly.
