: Peter- We used your marinade on a London Broil last weekend and my wife and I had some disagreements over the marinating time.

: We left it from early AM to late afternoon when we put it on the grill but we were wondering, what is the effect of LESS marinating time ... and what is the effect of MORE marinating time.

: I think it makes a difference but we'd like to get more into the "science" of the the art.

: Thanks!

I think that maranade times have a lot to do with temperature of the meat as it is maranading. Colder meat-longer time.
What I like to do to shorten maranade time and maximize flavor is to take out my cold steak from the fridge, put it a glass pan, generously coat both sides with Peter's "yellow", cover the pan in plastic wrap, and let it come to room temperature before I cook it. Try it! You'll see that the steak will soak up the maranade like a sponge! Very, very tasty!
