Ingredients

1/3

cup vegetable oil

2/3

teaspoon grated lemon peel

2

tablespoons lemon juice

1

tablespoon dry vermouth, dry white wine or beef broth

1

teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/4 teaspoon crumbled dried sage leaves

1

teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

1/2

teaspoon salt

1/4

teaspoon coarsely ground pepper

Preparation

In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable plastic food-storage bag, mix all ingredients.

Add up to 2 pounds boneless beef, pork, chicken or turkey, turning to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate, turning meat occasionally, at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours.

Remove meat from marinade; reserve marinade. Cook meat as desired, brushing occasionally with marinade.

Remaining marinade must be boiled to be served as a sauce (if not boiled, discard marinade). In 1-quart saucepan, heat marinade to boiling, stirring constantly; boil and stir 1 minute.
