Dear SOS: Many years ago The Times published a recipe for a beef kebab marinade that was the best ever. I was newly married and used it for my first dinner party. It had oil, lemon juice, garlic, soy sauce (I think), maybe parsley, pepper and I don’t know what else.

Dear Barbara: Is this it? This recipe from our archives, improved upon by our Test Kitchen, was the closest to what you described. Maybe a reader has the one you’re after.

1

Cut the meat into 1 1/2-inch cubes.

2

Combine the lemon juice, onion, salt, pepper, curry powder, ginger, Worcestershire, bay leaf and garlic in a shallow dish. Add the meat, toss well to coat, and refrigerate, covered, for 4 hours or longer.

3

Heat the broiler or heat an outdoor grill on medium-high heat.

4

Thread the beef onto eight (10- to 12-inch) skewers, alternating with the mushrooms, onions, bell pepper and tomatoes. Broil the kebabs 5 inches from the heat source or grill until the meat reaches desired doneness, 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
