Korean Barbeque Marinade

Summer is almost here!  I have the grill cleaned off and revved up to go.  If you are like me, you are always looking for new ways to kick the grill up a notch.  I am always on the look out for new marinades and grill recipes.  Here is one that I have been playing with and I think it has turned out pretty well.  I have used it on chicken, flank steak (we love bison instead of beef), and shrimp.  I have a friend that uses this on grilled salmon and loves it.  Give it a try – it might just become your favorite.

Korean Barbeque Marinade

1 1/2 c. mango juice

1 T agave syrup

4 green onions, finely minced (including the white part)

5 large cloves of garlic, finely minced

2 T toasted sesame seeds

1/2 t crushed red pepper flakes

2 T white wine

1/2 c soy sauce (I used Tamari)

1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated

In a medium to large bowl, mix all the ingredients.  Whisk to make sure the syrup is blended well.

Add your meat, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
