One of my favorite dinners…

I’ve been preparing this meal for my family and friends for what seems like forever.  But it’s (to me) the greatest combination of flavors: garlic, soy, ginger and brown sugar.  It’s a snap to prepare, and it’s perfect for a tailgate or other party you’re hosting!

And a nice accompaniment is rice or cauliflower rice or an Asian slaw.
