Orange Thyme Marinade Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the red pepper flakes thyme, garlic, lemon zest, orange zest, salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is pale golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the olives and cook, stirring, until just warm, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and orange juice and transfer to a decorative jar or serving bowl. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl or resealable bag.
• The orginal recipe did not include marinating times but I would suggest at least 2 hours for chicken, preferably overnight. Since fish tends to cook in marinades, 30 minutes should do. For vegetables, firmer vegetables can go longer but something like zucchini or yellow squash might be ready in 20-30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine shrimp, 1 teaspoon zest, 1/4 cup juice, garlic, oil, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and teaspoon pepper; toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours). Soak eight 8-inch wooden skewers in water 30 minutes before cooking.
• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, remaining 1/2 teaspoon zest, remaining 1/4 cup juice, and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme; season dipping sauce with salt and pepper.
• Heat grill to medium; lightly oil grates. Thread shrimp onto skewers, and grill, turning once, until shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve shrimp with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Wipe the swordfish steaks dry with paper towels. Coat on both sides with two tablespoons olive oil. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet with one tablespoon butter. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until soft. Add the tomatoes and thyme and cook for three minutes.
• Add the orange juice and white wine and reduce slightly, cooking for five more minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside until the fish is about to be grilled.
• Preheat coals for grilling. Cook the fish about five minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the steaks. Meanwhile, bring the sauce to a boil. Off heat, stir in the remaining butter. Pour the sauce over the steaks and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with heavy-duty foil; spray foil with cooking spray. Place beef in pan. In small bowl, mix marmalade, oil and Sriracha sauce; set aside 3 tablespoons for glazing vegetables. Generously brush some of the remaining marmalade mixture over beef. Reserve remaining mixture.
• Roast beef uncovered 40 minutes, brushing beef occasionally with reserved marmalade mixture. Meanwhile, in another small bowl or cup, mix thyme, salt and pepper. Sprinkle top and sides of beef with 2 teaspoons of the thyme mixture. Place potatoes around beef. Generously brush potatoes with some of the 3 tablespoon marmalade mixture; sprinkle with half of the remaining thyme mixture.
• Roast 45 to 55 minutes longer or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of beef reads 135°F. Place beef on cutting board; cover loosely with foil. Let stand about 10 minutes or until thermometer reads 145°F for medium-rare doneness. (Roast to 160°F for medium doneness.)
• Increase oven temperature to 425°F. Arrange asparagus in single layer in pan with potatoes. Brush asparagus with the rest of the 3 tablespoon marmalade mixture; sprinkle with remaining thyme mixture. Roast 7 to 10 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender.
• To serve, cut beef across grain into thin slices; arrange on serving platter. Add potatoes and asparagus to platter. Spoon pan drippings over beef.
