Platonic Marinade: An old Doughtie family favorite

Hot coals on the barbeque
This is based on a James Beard recipe G’s mom found years ago when G was still a kid. They liked it so much, they called it Platonic marinade, and it’s been a family favorite ever since. G barbecued chicken for me with it when we first started dating. I loved it, too. And the kids love it. We make it for them in both houses.
Platonic Marinade
- 1-1/2 cups canola oil
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbs. dry mustard
- 1 Tbs. pepper
- 1/2 cup wine vinegar
- 1 clove (or more!) garlic
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
Blend all ingredients in blender or food processor.
Marinate chicken breasts or steak overnight. (Flank steak works especially well with this recipe.)
Grill. Brush marinade over grilling meat, and, if you like, simmer remaining marinade long enough to kill germs and then serve as a sauce alongside the chicken or meat.
yum!
I always joke that this marinade is why I married Gavin. (You know, the first time.) I always say that like I’m kidding…
