Tangerine Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• Pierce the steak with a fork several times on each side. Remove a 2-inch strip of zest from the tangerine, halve the fruit and squeeze the juice into a resealable plastic bag. Add the zest, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, ginger, garlic, pepper flakes and 1/4 cup water to the bag and mix well. Add the meat, seal the bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the broiler with a broiler pan in place. Remove the steak from the bag and reserve the marinade. Pat the meat dry and place on the preheated broiler pan. Cook, without turning, until the meat is golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 130 for medium-rare, about 10 minutes. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing; reserve the drippings.
• Meanwhile, boil the marinade in a small pot over medium-high heat until slightly thickened. Stir in the orange preserves and the drippings from the meat. Slice the meat against the grain and top with scallions. Serve with the sauce.

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for two-zone cooking over high heat: For a charcoal grill, pour the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all the burners, then turn off one of the end burners. (See Tips.)
• While the grill is heating, pat the steak dry and cut into 5- to 6-inch pieces with the grain. (This makes it easier to fit on the grill.) Set aside to air-dry while you make the sauce: Squeeze 1 cup of juice from about 6 tangerines into a bowl or rimmed dish large enough to hold the steak after it's grilled. (Set aside the remaining unjuiced halves on a sheet pan.) Add the spent tangerine halves to the juice. Smash the halves with a spoon to release the rind's oils (as if you're muddling a cocktail). To the juice and spent tangerine halves, add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sambal oelek, ginger and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• When you're ready to grill, add the steak to the sheet pan of unjuiced tangerine halves and lightly coat everything with neutral oil. Season generously with salt. Bring the sheet pan of tangerine halves and steak, sauce, a tightly folded paper towel soaked with oil, and tongs to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the steak over direct heat, flipping halfway through, until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Grill the tangerines over direct heat, flipping halfway through, until blackened, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• As the steak and tangerine halves finish, add them to the sauce and turn to coat. Squeeze the charred citrus with your tongs to release the juice and the peels into the dish. Let rest for at least 5 minutes and up to 30. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the sauce. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sambal oelek.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.
• Whisk until honey has dissolved.
• Marinade chicken or pork for 1 1/2-2 hours.

Steps:

• Rinse ribs with cold water and pat dry. Remove thin membrane from the back of ribs. Place ribs in a large shallow pan and set aside.
• In a bowl, combine 2 cups tangerine juice and both packets of ginger-teriyaki mix. Pour marinade mixture over ribs. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours.
• Set up grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (no heat source directly under ribs). Remove ribs from refrigerator and allow ribs to come up to room temperature (about 30 minutes). Remove ribs from marinade mixture, but do not discard marinade. Place ribs in rib rack over drip pan on hot grill. Add a handful of hickory chips to smokebox or each pile of hot coals. Cover grill. Rotate ribs around rack every 30 minutes. If using charcoal, add 10 briquettes to each pile of coals and another handful of soaked hickory chips every hour. Cook 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• While ribs are cooking, make sauce by first adding rib marinade to a saucepan. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add the tangerine juice and BBQ sauce. Simmer 10 minutes and remove from heat.
• About 20 minutes before ribs are done, remove ribs from rib rack and lay meat side down on grill. Generously brush with sauce and pile ribs in center of grill over drip pan. Cover and cook 10 minutes. Turn ribs and brush on more sauce and repeat. Cook an additional 10 minutes. Cut into portions and serve hot with sauce on the side.
• INDOOR: Prepare and marinate ribs as directed. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove ribs from marinade, reserving marinade, and place meat side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Tightly cover with foil. Bake preheated oven for 1 hour. While ribs are baking, make sauce as directed. Remove ribs from oven and carefully drain fat from roasting pan. Continue baking ribs, uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes more or until tender, turning and brushing occasionally with sauce.

Steps:

• If using a broiler instead of a stove-top grill, turn on broiler and cover broiler pan with double thickness of aluminum foil.
• Grate rind from tangerine, and squeeze tangerine to yield 1/2 cup juice; put into bowl large enough to hold the pork.
• Mince garlic; chop rosemary leaves; add to bowl with sugar, Worcestershire sauce and vermouth, and mix well.
• Wash, dry and slice tenderloin into 1/2-inch-thick slices, and stir into marinade.
• Prepare stove-top grill if using. Arrange slices of pork on grill or broiler. Brush with marinade. Grill or broil pork for a couple of minutes; brush with marinade, turn and continue cooking until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Bring remaining marinade to boil, and spoon over pork slices on plates.

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium-high.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over high heat, add the onion and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the juice and thyme, bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to approximately 1/2 cup, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Strain the mixture into a bowl and whisk in the syrup, soy sauce and black pepper and let cool to room temperature. Can be made 2 days in advance and brought to room temperature before using.
• Brush chicken on both sides with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through. Begin brushing with the glaze during the last 5 minutes of grilling. Remove to a platter and sprinkle with the green onion. Garnish with grilled citrus.

Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients together and marinate fish for 30- 60 minutes, turning fish once or twice.
• For Tuna: Drain well and blot dry.
• Brush steaks with 1 Tbsp sesame oil.
• Grill on hot grill for 1 minute each side (very rare)- or until cooked to taste.
• Sprinkle with chopped scallion greens and sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Grate zest from tangerines, and squeeze juice into a bowl with zest.
• Mix in remaining ingredients, except chicken and sesame seeds. Whisk until well blended.
• Put thighs into a gallon zipper bag and pour marinade over thighs. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 2 hours, turning 2-3 times.
• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Coat an oblong baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Remove thighs from marinade and place thighs, skin side up, in baking dish. Pour marinade over thighs.
• Bake 40 minutes, or until juices no longer run pink. Brush thighs a couple of times while baking, with pan juices.
• Sprinkle black sesame seeds over thighs and continue baking 5 minutes.
• Place thighs on plates and spoon sauce over them.
