Written by Published on in Marinades
for 1kg Servings
  • 1 medium onion, cut into rings
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • juice from one lime/lemon
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp white grape vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 tsp curry powder (with garlic)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin

This has got to be one of my best marinades yet!!! It will work well for both your red and white meats. I’m not too sure about fish yet though, I’d need to try it out on the fish and I’ll advise if it works.  I used it here with t-bone steak. Like most marinades, it’s pretty easy and simple to make. Update: You may also use sweet onion in this recipe if you can land your hands on some.

Quick Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients together.  Put onion rings (1 medium onion) in a bowl. Add sugar (3 tbsp brown sugar), oil (3 tbsp olive oil) and sweet chilli sauce (1 tbsp).
  2. Add garlic (4 cloves, minced), ground cumin (1/2 tsp), curry powder 1 tsp), salt (1 tsp), ground black pepper (1/4 tsp), water (1 cup water), soy sauce (3 tbsp) and white grape vinegar (2 tbsp). Give a quick stir, combining everything well and your marinade is ready!
