Why This Recipe Works

We combined smoky paprika, tangy red wine vinegar, garlic, and fresh herbs to create a bold, vibrant sauce that pairs beautifully with any kind of grilled meat. Whisking all the ingredients together and letting them sit for at least 30 minutes before serving allowed the flavors to blend.
