Thank you for sharing this excellent and flavorful sauce/marinade! A few comments: - I used about 1/4 tsp liquid smoke - I added a small amount of ground black pepper and some red pepper flakes - next time I will omit the teriyaki sauce and just add a tsp of grated ginger (the other teriyaki components are sufficiently present in the marinade) - I combined the ingredients in an electric blender and then smoothed, using half for sauce, half for marinade - I deglazed with the sauce, then added heavy cream to make a whiskey cream sauce. I also used the sauce as is. Neither was as good as the marinated steak on its own. - The flavor slightly overpowered the steak for my liking. Will love to see how it works on chicken.
