The Easy 2-Ingredient Marinade That Uses Two Staple Items

Nailing the marinade is essential to unlocking the full flavor potential of meat, and all you really need for a good marinade is a bottle of soy sauce and a lemon.
The citric acid of the lemon softens the meat by denaturing its proteins, while soy sauce aids the tenderizing process and enhances the cut's natural flavor.
Simply take a large bowl and pour in some soy sauce. Then, cut a lemon in half and squeeze out all the juice before whisking everything together until it's fully blended.
The soy sauce's salt content and the acid from the lemon will help bring the moisture from the meat into the marinade, which will keep the meat juicy even after cooking.
