This barbecue marinade speaks for itself, perfect with any meat or brushed over a chunky hapuku steak. An old favourite, children love it especially with finger lickin’ ribs. The stickier the better, hence perfect for outdoor dining.

¼ cup	Runny honey (Main)
3 Tbsp	Soy sauce (Main)
3 Tbsp	Tomato sauce (Main)
3 drops	Tabasco sauce, or so
2	Garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp	Mustard powder
1 tsp	Paprika
1	Orange, juice only
4 Tbsp	White wine vinegar (Main)

Combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Store in a jar until required.
Brush half the marinade over the ribs, steak or fish, leaving for at least 2 hours or overnight before cooking.
Remove the meat from the marinade and cook on a barbecue at a low heat for 30-40 minutes (depending on the thickness), turning a few times.
If using ribs, let them rest for 10 minutes then slice into individual ribs. Heat the remaining marinade for 1 or 2 minutes and serve as a side sauce.
