Pork Marinade

Measure and gather all ingredients: black pepper, garlic powder, honey, salt, squeezed lime juice, red wine, and chicken broth. Having everything prepared beforehand ensures a smooth and efficient mixing process.

Pour the chicken broth into a medium mixing bowl as the base of the marinade. This will serve as the liquid foundation that carries the other flavors.

Add the red wine and freshly squeezed lime juice to the chicken broth. These acidic components will help tenderize the pork and brighten the overall flavor profile.

Stir in the honey until it is fully dissolved into the liquid mixture. The honey adds a subtle sweetness that balances the acidity of the lime juice and wine.

Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, then whisk all ingredients together until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Place your pork cuts into a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring all surfaces are evenly coated. Seal or cover the container tightly.

Refrigerate the marinating pork for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate and tenderize the meat. Turn the pork occasionally for even marination.

Remove the pork from the marinade and allow it to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking. Discard any unused marinade that has been in contact with raw pork.
