Serves:

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 pound meat of choice (such as chicken, beef, or lamb)

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the meat in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, making sure it is fully coated.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
When ready to cook, remove the meat from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
Grill the meat over medium-high heat until cooked to your desired doneness, flipping halfway through.
Let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
