    0:24 SAME! Making that dressing was THE highlight of my week. It used to be less than a $1 in 1988. (Side story: my dad gave my my mom a kiss after EVERY SINGLE MEAL. Still does to this day and they are 76/84 years young. When I helped make the dressing, he would kiss me too. Thank you for your recipe because it triggered that sweet memory).

    After I make the salad dressing, I fill the rest of the bottle with soy sauce. I've used this recipe for years. I'm 62... I also use it on a pork tenderloin in a slow cooker. I place carrots on the bottom after searing the roast to a dark brown all over, I place it on top of the carrots and then put cut potatoes around the roast. Pour the dressing/soy sauce over the roast and potatoes and cook on high for about 6 to 8 hrs. Baste a few times during the cook time. I make a gravy like you did with the sauce and have it over the potatoes. BAM! It's very tasty, and my kids love it.😁

It was a few years before they started selling just the packets without the bottle.

    Marinating meat in salad dressing was a thing as far back as the 70's. My mothers' goto marinade was Catalina Dressing in which she marinated cubes of beef that were cooked on the grill shish-kebob style. The Italian dressing was, or course, used on the salad. Beef kebabs, a tossed green salad, and corn on the cob was a frequent summer weekend meal.

    Every guy's Mom who couldn't cook has stories. I grew up in the 1950-60s. The only beef my Italian-American Mom, who grew up in the Depression, made was Stuffed Green Peppers with ground beef, which she cooked to the surface temperature of Venus. Or a Sunday Roast Beef, which was cooked until the meat was so dried out that the surface was dusty. Broccoli? My Mom invented the term, "Hammered." It was Army Olive Drab after boiling for 40 minutes. However, She could make a Veal Cutlet that I can still smell and taste 70 years later. Love you Mom!

    take 1 ltr (1/4 gallon) of the brine and 500ml more water, simmer it down with 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and a dash of red wine for an hour then add 6 tablespoons of gravy powder,
    reduce it more, then when it about 10 mins from being done, you chuck in 2 teaspoons of vegemite, stir it through and let it cook down the remainder of the ten minutes.

    I grew up in the 1960’s-70’s and my mom always used Good Seasons Italian as a marinade for steak and I still do!
    I found some history:
    “Good Seasons dressings (originally called Four Seasons) were developed in 1954 at the Brown Derby Restaurant (the famous golden age Los Angeles celebrity hangout) by chef Robert Kreis. They were available in four flavors and sold by mail order, according to the Kraft-Heinz consumer relations director. The company’s signature fluted glass cruet was sold alongside the dressing packets, which contain a blend of herbs and spices. Fun fact: On the front of the cruet you’ll find the etchings of a dressing recipe; three lines - each with a corresponding letter (O, V, and W) - signify how much oil, vinegar, and water to add to the herb blend. The recipe can also be found on the packet.”

    Thank you for this-I love your channel! My parents used to make this dressing back in the 80’s and I still make it today. It’s just SO good. I have a tried and true marinade using Good Seasons Italian dressing that a friend gave me 20+ years ago: 1 dressing packet, 3/4 c olive oil, 2 TBS Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 low sodium soy sauce, 2 TBS balsamic, champagne or sherry vinegar, 1 TBS dark or light brown sugar, 3 cloves garlic (smashed-the peel will come right off ), 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 2 TBS lemon juice, and 1 TBS minced parsley (I usually leave this out unless I’m entertaining Lol). I know this seems like a lot of ingredients but trust me-it’s worth it. Combine all ingredients in a large Ziploc bag placed in a large bowl. Poke holes all over the meat with a fork and place meat in bag. Seal and place in fridge with the bowl (so it doesn’t leak everywhere) and marinate overnight. When ready to cook, pat the meat dry and sprinkle with some fresh cracked pepper. Bake, grill or broil to desired temperature. This marinade works beautifully for London broil, flank or skirt steak. It tenderizes it and adds so much flavor! You can even boil the marinade for 1-2 minutes (kill raw meat bacteria) and dilute it with a little water (it’s extremely salty) as a quick sauce to drizzle over before serving but I usually just serve it without the sauce-it’s that good. My adult children still request this for their birthday dinner! If anyone makes it, I hope you enjoy. 😊

    I still make this dressing, but not per packet/bottle instructions. My way is more like a flavored vinegar since the oil is where the bulk of the calories are in a salad dressing and I use about three tablespoons for the whole thing. That said, for a marinade, I'll definitely have to go by the instructions and use balsamic for the vinegar. I'll have to give this a try the next time I find some reasonably priced flank steak since I buy the L&P Worcestershire sauce by the gallon jug. That stuff gets used a lot in my kitchen.

    The best marinade for London Broil features equal parts oil and vinegar and usually soy sauce and Worstershire sauce. From there on in, you can season it to your taste. The higher percentage of vinegar to oil helps tenderize the meat more than a salad dressing would. And then you won't have to cut the meat so thin. Also, London Broil makes great leftovers for sandwiches, tacos, or to use in another dish. So, you can never make too much. Unlike steak, London Broil tastes great hot, room temperature or cold. It's a forgotten meal. But still a crowd pleaser.

    I have a small bone to pick, GAS broilers like yours are very useful, they provide wide wall of even heat, like a propane grill but upside down.
    Electric broilers are trash that burn the top 1/8 inch of to a char and don’t touch anywhere else on the food. That’s why people don’t use them, that’s why written recipes almost never recommend them. This ability gap in the electric stove is why you see many new ones with convection fans, it allows them to brown but not blacken a roast.
