Orange Thyme Sauce And Marinade For Grilling Recipes

ORANGE-THYME SAUCE AND MARINADE FOR GRILLING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients. Set aside 1/3 cup for basting meat.
• Grill steak, chicken or pork over medium high heat basting with some of the reserved sauce near the end of cook time so it does not burn.

ORANGE THYME MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable plastic food-storage bag. Add 2 pounds beef or pork; turn to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate at least 6 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
• Remove meat from marinade; reserve marinade. Grill meat as desired, brushing occasionally with marinade. Heat remaining marinade to boiling; boil and stir 1 minute. Serve marinade with grilled meat.

CRISPY ORANGE BEEF

Steps:

• Lay beef strips out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Allow to dry in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, rice vinegar, orange juice concentrate, salt and soy sauce. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. Add more water at the end if necessary.
• Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Toss dried beef in cornstarch to coat. Fry in the hot oil in small batches until crispy and golden brown; set aside. Drain all of the oil from the wok except about 1 tablespoon.
• Add orange zest, ginger and garlic to the remaining oil, and cook briefly until fragrant. Add the soy sauce mixture to the wok, bring to a boil, and cook until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add beef, and heat through, stirring to coat. Serve immediately over steamed rice, and garnish with broccoli.

ORANGE-MARINATED GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together the fresh-squeezed orange juice, olive oil, mustard, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a bowl.
• Pour into a resealable plastic bag.
• Add the salmon steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Remove the salmon from marinade, and shake off excess.
• Discard remaining marinade.
• Grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes per side depending on thickness.
