“Oriental meets Mediterranean in this flavorful, sweet-and- spicy marinade from Sarah Vasques of Milford, New Hampshire. The blend of honey and soy sauce really works well with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, she notes. Her marinade is also great when grilling New York strip steaks.” – AllRecipes.com
