London Broil

Tonight I made a stuffed London Broil, I'd give a B. It needs some refining. Aight so check this out, I started by butterflying the meat so I'd have a wide flat canvas of sorts. I did muck this step up a bit. One end was ripped to shit. Once it's all cut up and nice, cover it in plastic wrap and even it out with a mallet or a rolling pin. Now get that shit marinading.

Beef Marinade

Balsamic Vinegar
Dijon Mustard
Honey
Parsley
Black Pepper
Salt

Again, I don't measure things. Through in like a quarter cup of balsamic, three hefty squeezes of Dijon, about a tablespoon and a half of honey. Parsley is in there simply for the green. Add a lot of pepper, you want to have a strong pepper aroma to the marinade. Add salt as you deem fit.

If you plan ahead let the meat marinate for like 12 hours. If you're like me, you'll marinate it for 3-5 hours and hope to God that's long enough.

For the stuffing, add a little butter in a saute pan , fry up some onions, once they get translucent add diced up red bell pepper. Again add enough salt to pull some moisture out of the vegetables. Next add some portabello mushrooms. Let that cook down, and get nice and al dente.

Lay out the meat, add the stuffing and roll. Tress it if you can, if not...fuck it. Put it in a shallow pan and cover it in the marinade. Deglaze your saute pan with some red whine. Add butter to emulsify and reduce down until the alcohol is gone. Add that sauce to your shallow pan. roast it low and slow.

I've also thought of searing the meat and using the marinade and wine reduction to make an epic sauce. The stuffing could just be used as a tasty garnish.

Remember, anyone can make a fucking t-bone taste good. With a little work you can turn a three dollar cut of meat taste just as good, if not better than a fifteen dollar one. And in case you were wondering Katrina's asparagus kicked ass and Trace made some badass mashed potatoes.
