Dad'S Best Marinade - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar (cider or rice wine vinegar work well)
1/4 - 1/2 cup brown sugar (I use 1/2 but I like it carmelized on the outside of the meat)
2 cloves chopped garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 cup canola oil

Preparation

Place ingredients in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil over med heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Pour cooled marinade over meat and let marinate in fridge at least 4 hours up to 48 hours.
Best on the grill!
