Use this savory marinade on beef steaks, pork chops, beef ribs, or chicken parts. When you can marinade it overnight, the results are fantastic!

Ingredients
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- 1 ¼ cups soy sauce
- ½ cup sherry
- 5 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
- 5 tablespoons minced garlic
- ¼ cup sesame oil
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons black bean sauce
- 2 ½ tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons garlic chile paste
Instructions
- Combine green onions, brown sugar, soy sauce, sherry, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, sesame seeds, black bean sauce, black pepper, and garlic chile paste in a large bowl. Whisk until brown sugar is completely dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
- This recipe makes a lot of marinade! I split it in half after mixing and froze half in a resealable plastic bag for next time.
- Letting your meat marinate overnight will tenderize it as well as give it a hearty flavor for grilling. However, if using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, don’t marinate overnight as it would get too strong.

Whole family loved it on chicken thighs
Sooooo good as is. Tastes just like my local butcher’s marinade.
Amazing on Flank Steak and Chicken!
I tried this on boneless chuck short ribs, and it was very good. I didn’t change a thing, and I marinated overnight. I have quite a bit of the marinade left, so I’ll try it on chicken tomorrow. I did not discard the used marinade for the ribs, and I simmered it for a few minutes on the stove until it reduced to about one half. Then I drizzled it on the meat and grilled veggies for serving.
This is THE BEST marinade I have found thus far. It tenderizes so don’t leave too long — I used it with boneless skinless chicken thighs for 4-5 hours before I grilled them and the whole house raved. Definite keeper! I didn’t have sherry (didn’t substitute), blackbean sauce, or garlic chile paste. I’ll try again with those and update this review later.
We really enjoyed this marinade and is so close to the one at our speciality grocery store. From now on I will be making it instead of buying it. I used it on beef kabobs.
This is a great marinade, it does make a lot. I made a quarter of the recipe and it was more than enough for 3 steaks. I think this would be excellent on chicken.
