Yumm! That is similar to the meat marinade that I use on both pork and
beef. My lil' sister requests pork chops when she knows that I'll make them
this way:

Meat Marinade

For various types of meat :

1/2 c Teriyaki Sauce
1/4 c Honey
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 TBSP Garlic, minced or powdered
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp 5-Spice powder
1 tsp Tea Leaves, optional
Worcestershire Sauce, splash of

Mix all together.
