Before grilling, brush the sauce generously over steaks, chicken, or pork. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes for deeper flavor. During the last few minutes of cooking, apply another coat to create a delicious glaze. It can also be served on the side as a flavorful dipping sauce for cooked meats, seafood, or even vegetables. For a quick flavor boost, stir it into stews or gravies.
