A few quick notes
1. Give the marinade its turn
Look at the marinating step before you get the rest of dinner going. Keep that preparation in the order the recipe gives, and check the full method for how it fits around the cooking.
2. Set out the first ingredients
Look through the first cooking step and have its ingredients ready before you begin. It is easier to give the pan your attention when you are not still looking for the next item.
3. Keep an eye on the broiler finish
The broiler is a separate finishing job. Read that part before serving, get the dish ready as directed, and stay with the finish instead of treating it as another long oven step.
