Grilled veggie marinade
By Henny Shor, Jerusalem Post, April 18, 2026
Prep ahead: Marinades can be prepared a day or two in advance and stored in the fridge.
Label clearly: If making a few marinades, label them so they don’t get mixed up.
Room temp: Bring marinades to room temperature before using so they coat evenly.
Marinate early: Prep proteins earlier in the day so everything is ready to grill.
Timing matters: Vegetables can marinate longer, while fish needs just a short time.
Easy cleanup: Use zip-top bags or containers for easy coating and cleanup.
Once the marinades are done, you’re basically ready!
I’m one of those people who like vegetables with a bit of crunch, not soft and mushy. That’s why grilling is my favorite way to prepare them. They cook just enough to bring out their natural sweetness while still keeping that texture. And when you add a simple marinade like this one, you get a bold flavor with very little effort.
Yields 4-6 servings.
Ingredients:-
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp. date syrup
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. sriracha (hot sauce), optional
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. ground black pepper
3 carrots, peeled and sliced into strips
1 can baby corn
2 zucchini, cut into sixths
2 yellow peppers, cut into strips
1 red pepper, cut into strips
Directions:-
Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, date syrup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Reserve a few tablespoons of the marinade and set aside. Add the vegetables to the remaining marinade and toss well so everything is evenly coated. Let sit for at least 20 minutes, or longer if you have the time.
Grill over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp, with nice grill marks and caramelized edges. Remove from the grill and brush with the reserved marinade just before serving for an extra layer of flavor.

In our family, meat is always a favourite, but we try to keep it for special occasions like religious holidays, when we have company, and, of course, Israels Independence Day.
Sometimes the steak is simply grilled with salt and black pepper. But when we want to elevate it just a bit, a good marinade adds depth and brings all the flavours together. This works beautifully with cuts like rib eye, chuck steak, shoulder, or London broil, so you can use whatever you have on hand.
Yields 4-6 servings.
Ingredients:
2 kg. steak (rib eye, chuck, shoulder, or London broil), about 4-5 cm. thick
1 Tbsp. olive oil
3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
3 or 4 garlic cloves, crushed (or 3 frozen cubes)
1 tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. ground black pepper
Directions:
Whisk together all the marinade ingredients until well combined. Place the steak in a large zip-top bag or container and pour the marinade over, making sure the meat is well coated. Let marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavour.
If marinating for about an hour, you can leave it at room temperature. If marinating overnight, store in the fridge and let it come to room temperature before grilling.
Preheat your grill, grill pan, or oven to a high heat (about 200°C / 400°F). Remove the steak from the marinade and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for several minutes before slicing.
