Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon black pepper

Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the honey and brown sugar, whisking thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Slowly pour in the soy sauce while continuously stirring to ensure complete integration of all liquid ingredients, creating a uniform base for the marinade.
- Finely mince the green bell pepper into very small, uniform pieces to distribute evenly throughout the marinade.

- Incorporate the minced green bell pepper into the marinade, gently folding it in to ensure even distribution.
- Whisk all ingredients together for an additional 30-45 seconds to fully blend the flavors and create a cohesive marinade.
- Transfer the marinade to an airtight container or glass jar with a tight-fitting lid for storage.

Tips
- Whisking is Key: Take your time when combining ingredients, ensuring a smooth, well-integrated marinade that coats your proteins evenly.
- Pepper Power: Adjust the pepper quantities to match your spice tolerance. More red pepper flakes mean more heat!
- Marinating Magic: For maximum flavor infusion, let meats sit in this marinade for at least 2-4 hours before cooking, or overnight for more intense taste.
- Storage Smarts: Always store your marinade in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator. Use within 5-7 days for optimal freshness.
- Versatility Hack: This marinade isn't just for meats! Try it as a glaze for roasted vegetables or a dipping sauce for appetizers.
- Temperature Tip: Let the marinade come to room temperature before using to ensure even distribution of flavors.
