French onion soup. London broil. Time to open a steak house I think

I use London Broil for homemade beef jerky. What do you do with it, NG and CP?

So London Broil is a soup? Not a stew made with the steak?

What in heaven's name is that?

Pierce and marinate in a mix of soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic powder for 6 - 8 hours, broil over medium heat for 6 - 10 minutes per side(dependent on thickness), slice on the bias, and serve with sauted mushroom and onions..

Any leftovers make great sandwiches the next day on kaiser rolls with the mushrooms and onions (all warmed in microwave) and a good dark stout.

Just for something different.......add a dollop of Boursin cheese or any type of garlicky or herbed flavored cheese (like for crackers) on top of the steak once it has finished grilling.

Dinner.
Chicken drumsticks (fried in butter and baked in milk)
Green beans (from can)
Rice (fried in chicken butter drippings)
Homemade French bread

yum, that does sound delish!

That sounds wonderful. Our favorite restaurant puts butter and blue cheese on top of their steaks and it is wonderful. thanks for the suggestion!

Lol, French onion soup, London Broil, has been common fare at a few steak houses I used to work at and sometime dine at in the past

Well Mel , there is some confusion of what London broil is. To me it's a specific cut of meat, marinated a specific way, and then broiled ussually leaving the center pink and hot, like a black and blue cut of meat

But that's just my version taken from the steak house when the Hilton was under George Page back in the 70s. It seems that the supermarkets sell other cuts of meat besides the flank steaks we used to use and call it London Broil, leaving the ingredients in the marinade to deliver the flavor. Of course Broiling it quickly can add to this also

I don't remember exactly all the ingredients it's been years since I made even the supermarket version, but hear is what I do as I can remember

Using flank steaks no more than an inch thick, I marinated them in oil and a meat tenderizer overnight, adding crushed garlic and making sure the tenderizer was salty, or added some salt
When it became time to cook, I put meat on the rack, sprinkled some of the marinade on it, and some lemon juice also, of course there was garlic included
Cooked under hot broiler and flipped three times relatively quickly, until center was pink and hot and inside was blood red and juicy, keeping the meat covered with seasoning as mu ch as possible

Now that's all I remember so please don't hold me to it as a scientific explanation of London Broil

Makes me wonder where the name came from, but it never lasted till the next day at my house lol

Goodness, we may have to take this step by step. Do you know what a tortilla is?

What in heaven's name is that?

Think of a Mexican pizza with a crust on top as well as on the bottom.

Oh yeah I forgot
Slicing themeat on a sharp angle as NG refers to as a bias, thinly, adds to the flavor also

And like he said, it's awesome every day until it's gone, which is usually the next day lol

Sounds like a great idea for lunch NG

Oh quesadillas are brill, SugarCane. And so easy and quick. Just pop a tortilla in a hot pan, sprinkle cheese over it, add some other fillings like chorizo, spicy chicken tomatoes, veggies, put another tortilla on top then flip it over. Then cut into wedges. I use corn tortillas, less calories!

Not complete without sprinkling of oregano imo.

The government are actually pushing some quesadilla recipes on its LoveFoodHateWaste website because its a good way to use up veggies.

My very well travelled friend had never heard of them either, spread the word!

Peach salsa? That sounds very unusual but yummy!



I've never understood this either!

Peach salsa is great, but even better is Mango salsa.

I have no idea what dinner will be tonight. I'm farm sitting and my friend's fridge is nicely stocked. With beer. I'm sure there's some food in the freezer.

That sounds wonderful, CP! I just love flank steak. It is so versatile and so good when it is tender. I have marinated it in lime juice and seasonings before it is so easy to grill after that. I will try your suggestion.

Yes, fortunately I DO know this one.

Tortillas are things you have a stand-up fight with your spouse about, in the supermarket aisle. They are responsible for many a near-divorce.
