Notes
1. Patting meat dry with paper towels helps the marinade to coat the meat better.
2. Gently rubbing the marinade by hand into the meat for 1 minute ensures an even coating and thorough absorption.
3. Sealing the meat with oil holds the flavor and moisture.
4. Searing both sides of the meat locks in the juices and improve flavor. It is important not to move the meat around in order to get a good searing.
5. This dish goes well with plain or coconut rice.
