WVUFootball29 Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 What kind of recipe are you looking for? It was something with a london broil. I have one sitting in the fridge so I figured i'd make it before it went bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 It was something with a london broil. I have one sitting in the fridge so I figured i'd make it before it went bad marinades work great for London Broils. You want to tenderize it. Score it by piercing it with a fork all over. You would like some sort of acid to also help tenderize it. Lemon works nice, I usually use a red wine vinegar concoction. Marinade for a few hours at least. Searing works great. I usually start by searing the steak in a cast iron pan a couple minutes a side then finishing in the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 good call...I'll probly use some sortof vinegar...maybe basalmic. Balsamic works. Simple marinade of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic (lots!) thyme (fresh is best, but dried will do), salt, cracked black pepper, bay leaf. If you're on the east coast I may have arrived with this too late. But good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little pineapple juice also works well and lends some nice flavor (if you wish to delete some oil) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUFootball29 Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hey Jim, you're a wine guy too, what kind of wine would you suggest with a London Broil. I was thinking something red and semi-dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hey Jim, you're a wine guy too, what kind of wine would you suggest with a London Broil. I was thinking something red and semi-dry. Not to pre-empt Jim, as he is, indeed knowledgeable, but I'm going to suggest, to get the most for your $, you check out a nice Petite Sirah (unrelated to Sirah or Syrah or Shriaz). Here's the thing, Petite Sirahs are bigger and bolder than many modern reds (at the same price) which have gone quite soft, IMO. And, there are really very few BAD ones. Because it is not a "popular" wine, every crappy producer has not jumped on the PS bandwagon. There are a lot of bad Merlots, Syrahs. Zins, Pinots and Cabs in the market, but relatively few bad Petite Sirahs. As an alternative, a nice Zin would be very cool, IMHO. if you can find one, a good Barbara is also a treet.

Fezmid Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Not sure why SDS isn't putting the cookbook back (sans the scripts to add new recipes...). Here's an archive of it: http://web.archive.org/web/20060113020451/...e.com/cookbook/ The artichoke dip is awesome, as are the crab-filled wontons.
