Sherrene's Teriyaki Marinade and Pineapple Rice

Teriyaki Marinade

2 oz soy sauce

2 oz honey

1 oz red wine vinegar

2 garlic cloves crushed

1 ml ginger

4-5 green onions ( I cut the whole green onion with scissors)

6 oz olive oil

Cut meat into small ½ inch cubes and soak in marinade for 4-6 hours. Skew meat closely together. If I do steak and Chicken I make two batches of marinade and keep meet separate adding 1 batch of marinade to each bag of meat. BBQ on grill.

I like it with veggies too but prefer to do them separately because meat seems to get so tender skewed closer together.

Pineapple Rice

Not really a recipe… just made it up.

Cook Rice (about 1 ½ to 2 cups uncooked rice to 3-4 cups water

Sauté chopped yellow onion in butter. Add cooked rice and sauté in butter. Add small little can of pineapple juice. (They come in 6 packs) Simmer on low as rice soaks juice. Add fresh chopped cilantro and stir. Serve.
