Dijon-Rosemary Marinade

A Dijon rosemary marinade is a flavorful blend often used to season meats like steak, chicken, pork, or lamb. The Dijon mustard adds tang and depth, while rosemary brings a fragrant, earthy note. This marinade not only tenderizes the meat but also infuses it with a savory, herbaceous flavor that’s perfect for grilling, roasting, or baking.

Ingredients

• Dijon mustard brings a sharp, zesty tang with a slightly creamy texture and a mild heat that’s more refined than yellow mustard.
• Fresh rosemary adds a fragrant, woodsy, and slightly piney note that deepens the marinade’s overall earthiness.
• Garlic layers in a pungent, savory depth.
• Olive oil smooths everything out, helping the flavors meld and adding a rich mouthfeel.
• Lemon juice brightens the marinade with acidity, balancing the sharpness of the mustard and the intensity of the rosemary.
• Balsamic vinegar adds richness, tang, and subtle sweetness.
