Preparing juicy and aromatic honey-glazed meat is a delightful way to treat your loved ones and surprise your guests. This recipe blends the tenderness of the meat with the sweet and tangy flavor of a honey-lemon marinade.
Ingredients
- 1 kg of meat (pork or beef)
- 4 cups of water
- 50 g sugar
- 50 g salt
- 3 tbsp liquid honey
- 3 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp French mustard
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 medium lemon (juice and zest)
- 3 cloves of garlic
Preparation Steps
1. Marinate the Meat: Pour water into a suitable container and add salt and sugar. Stir well until the ingredients are fully dissolved. Place the meat in the solution and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour to make it tender and juicy.
2. Prepare the Coating Mixture: Mince the garlic and mix it with thyme, mustard, lemon juice and zest, oil, and honey. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
3. Coat the Meat: Remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Thoroughly coat it with the prepared mixture.
4. Roast the Meat: Place the meat in a baking dish and put it in a preheated oven at 200°C. Roast for 30 minutes.
5. Check for Doneness: Ensure the meat is well-cooked. Once ready, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its juiciness.
