Sherry Gastrique Recipe

A Saucy Little Mix

Marinades are an easy way to make everyday meals a little bolder. A good marinade can tenderize and add moisture to your meat while infusing flavor beyond the surface level, ensuring that each bite is perfectly delicious. With this recipe from local restaurant Sidetrack, you can skip the store-bought stuff in just a few simple steps.
