Directions

Whisk together orange juice, olive oil, teriyaki or soy sauce, and 2 Tbsp. seasoning. Place protein in a zip top storage bag or other sealable container. Pour marinade over top to cover and refrigerate for at least 30 min. or up to overnight.

When ready to cook, remove protein from marinade (reserving marinade) and sprinkle with remaining seasoning. Cook over medium to medium-high heat (either directly on a gas or charcoal grill or in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop) until desired doneness is reached.

Meanwhile, pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan and simmer until reduced and thickened into a sauce to serve on top or alongside the cooked protein.
