# Spicy Gochujang Marinade

## Blender Method

1. Combine (50g)[gochujang], (20g)[soy sauce], (5g)[paprika], (50g)[onion] (roughly chopped), (15g)[garlic cloves], (20g)[sesame oil], (50g)[honey], and (50g)[rice vinegar] in a blender and blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth.

## By Hand

1. Grate onion on the largest holes of a box grater. Grate garlic with microplane.
2. Mix the grated onion and garlic with gochujang (or the sriracha-miso-sugar mixture) with the rest of the ingredients.

## To Use

1. Use this marinade on meats like (1kg)[skirt steak] (or thin-sliced pork chops, boneless chicken thighs, or tofu). Salt your meat (about 5g/1t per pound) and allow to sit for 10 min.
2. Add half the marinade & marinate 20-30 minutes in the fridge.
3. If using skirt steak, grill on a very hot, oiled grill for about 4min on the side 1, 3min on side 2 until meat is 130F/55C.
4. Rest for 10 minutes, then brush on reserved marinade & slice.
