  • The marinade is so good, you can pour it over oven roasted potatoes, a baked potato or hearty veggies.

Common Questions-

Do you need to marinate the beef overnight?

Yes- the marinade needs at least 8 hours to tenderize and flavor this thick cut of beef.

Would bottled lemon juice work?

Yes- but fresh is always best.

Can I cook this on the grill?

The marinade, because of its high oil content, will probably flame up and cause the London broil to burn. Be very careful if you choose to grill. It’ll probably make a big mess. Heat the marinade in a sauce pan until simmering and let it cook for 30 minutes to kill off any bacteria from the raw beef before serving.

Would this work with pork shoulder?

It would probably be delicious with pork. I would cook it in a slow cooker or smoker for several hours to ensure the meat stays tender.

The soy has a lot of sodium. Is there a substitute?

Use low sodium soy sauce instead.

This dinner is for a crowd….

I’m not certain where my mom found the recipe or if she just dreamed it up one night. Full Disclosure: My mother is the fabulous and always entertaining Marci Arthur, owner of truffles & trifles, a gourmet cooking school in Orlando that has been in business for over 30 years. Before my mom had her shop, she was the original “hostess with the mostess.” She was President of the Florida Symphony Orchestra, a founding member of the Mt. Dora Art Festival, served on the Florida Audubon Board, so much more. She used to have these incredible 70’s cocktail parties at our family home in Tangerine, Florida on Lake Beauclaire and folks would drive in from Orlando. She’d wear blue silk kaftans, hire bartenders to serve chic cocktails and have incredible food.

My sister and I would watch the guests from our stairs and steal little sips of cocktails when no one was looking. I still picture her in the kitchen at the beach whipping up lime daiquiris for her and my aunties or stirring her incredible bolognese sauce all day. She was the kind of home cook that would drive an hour to shop at Gooding’s grocery store (back in the day) just to get the special ingredients she could not find in rural Lake county.

My love for entertaining began when I was in seventh grade and threw a surprise party for my mother (I did have to fess up about it so she could buy the wine).

I have been blissfully married to Hunky Hubbie for 34 years. We have three brilliant adult daughters (all of whom are off the company payroll) as well as two incredible son-in-laws, and one “they’ve been dating for 12 years — will they or won’t they?” honorary son-in-law.

For the last 20 years, we’ve split our time between our home in Northwest Montana and our downsized dream house in Winter Park, Florida, but in 2022 we loaded up the wagons and decided to “Go West”, making Montana our full time home.

  1. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
