1
Prepare garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves until fragrant.
2
Make marinade
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and soy sauce (if using) until well combined.
3
Choose and prep protein
Select your protein (chicken, beef, pork, tofu, or shrimp). Cut into even pieces for uniform marination.
4
Add garlic to marinade
Add the minced garlic to the marinade and mix to distribute evenly.
5
Marinate
Place the protein in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Turn to coat. Marinate for 15–60 minutes in the refrigerator.
6
Cook
Cook the marinated protein in a hot skillet, grill, or oven until cooked through: chicken to 165°F (74°C), beef/pork to your preferred doneness, shrimp opaque and pink, or tofu heated through. Cooking times will vary by protein.
7
Rest and serve
Let the protein rest for 5 minutes, then serve with your preferred sides. Garnish with a squeeze of lemon if desired.
