    1 Mix all ingredients together with 4-5 tablespoons water. Use to marinate your meat. Marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

    2 Heat a non-stick pan until hot and cook meat for 3-4 minutes or until evenly seared on the outside. Leave to stand before slicing.

    HFG tip

    • Marinade keeps for 2 days in a sealed container in the fridge.
    • Works well with beef and lamb.
    • This marinade also works well with large pieces of meat. Make double the quantity for parties.
    • Use lean cuts of meat.
    • Place marinade and meat in a non-metallic dish to marinate.
    • To allow flavours to be absorbed into the food, use a sharp knife to make slits in the surface of the meat before marinating.
    • Once marinated, keep meat and fish in the fridge covered until ready to cook.
    • Once cooked, leave meat to stand for 5-10 minutes to allow the meat to rest so the juices re-absorb into the meat.
