Teriyaki -- marinade or sauce -- is a grilling staple. Kosher salt, mill-ground pepper, Worcestershire, teriyaki -- it's one of the basics.

It doesn't price like a grilling basic, though.

Seriously, check the tags on name-brand teriyaki sauces at various grocery stores.  $3.99. $4.99. For 12-16 ounces.

The sauces:  good. Their prices:  lousy.

My recipe for teriyaki sauce/marinade will save you a ton of money on teriyaki, hence "Save-A-Ton Teriyaki Marinade." You'll also make a ton of it, and it keeps forever, sealed in a container inside your refrigerator:

3 cups canola oil

2 cups soy sauce

2 cups honey

1/2 cup tarragon vinegar

1/2 cup chopped white onion

4 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons ground ginger

Whisk the ingredients in a large sauce pan/bowl - no heat.
