We are so happy to be able to spend as much time outside as we can this summer – whether that means grilling [insert link to new grilling article here], enjoying a meal outdoors with friends, or heading to a family potluck – we simply can’t get enough! 

If you’re in a bit of a cooking rut, or are looking for more inspiration for how to use our delicious Pourable Ghee Oil, we’re here to save the day. Introducing: The Perfect Marinade to Use All Summer Long! 

This is a simple, delicious, healthy AND foolproof marinade that will give virtually anything you cook a massive flavor boost while ensuring that it stays moist and delicious throughout the cooking process. No need to thank us, just get cookin’! 

The Perfect Marinade to Use All Summer Long

• ½ cup of 4th & Heart Ghee Oil or melted ghee**
• 1 lemon, juiced 
• 2 cloves of garlic, grated or finely minced 
• 2 teaspoons of kosher salt 
• 1 teaspoon of fresh black pepper
• Optional: 1 Tablespoon of any chopped fresh herbs you have on hand (basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, or cilantro) 

Directions:

Mix the ghee oil or melted ghee, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper, and (optional) herbs together in a medium-sized mixing bowl until well combined. Add your protein (beef, chicken, seafood, tofu, tempeh, or anything else you like!) and toss around to completely cover it in the marinade. Let everything sit for at least two hours covered in the refrigerator, and you’re ready to cook!

**We recommend using 4th & Heart Original Recipe Ghee, Turmeric Ghee, or Garlic Ghee!
