This marinade whisks together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and garlic into a tangy emulsion that tenderizes chicken, steak, or vegetables while infusing them with sharp, savory flavor. It comes together in minutes with no cooking required, making it a convenient option for weeknight grilling or oven-roasting. Use it as a soak before cooking or brush some aside to drizzle over the finished dish.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until smooth.

  2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly until the mixture emulsifies.

  3. Whisk in the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.

  4. Use immediately to marinate meat or vegetables, or transfer to a sealed jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
