Supper's Ready
Preppin' up some marinade for london broil tomorrow (for a 2 lb cut of Angus beef round)... first the mix:

1/2c evoo
1/4c red wine
1/4c red vinegar
crushed black peppercorns
4 minced garlic cloves

with a little:
fresh chopped thyme
" " " " " " " basil
1 tsp celery seed

Looks good all by itself..

Then put it all in a sealable ziploc (and in a bowl in case it leaks).

Hopefully will get a pic or two tomorrow after I cook it. Last time I made this it was really good. :yay:

It is very good. It's a tough cut of meat (beef round, and sometimes flank), but after marinating a whole day, it's really tender. Usually a high temp sear for the outsides, and avoiding overcooking the insides at all cost. It'll just make it tough again if it's more than medium rare (on the inside). Err to the rare side first on this.

And awesome with salad on the second day, too (sliced very thin). :drool:

:buddies:

When food lion has them on sale I buy them by the cart load. Marinated and grilled or broiled, sliced thin for stir fry or fajitas, small chunks slow cooked in soup and stew...

Hadn't ever thought about making fajitas, but it sure sounds good with this cut (marinated), may have to look into making them sometime soon.

Slice them on the bias cross grain for even more tender! I love them.

Had to look up 'slicing on the bias', and yep, just what I was guessing - on the angle (most say around 45 or so). Now I know what it means, thanks.

Yea, here I am prepping food on Friday night while everyone else is out partying! Shows you the mundane life I have here, work/home, work/home. :lol: Almost embarrassing, really. :blushing: Thanks for thinking of us. :buddies:

Turned out good! If I would change one thing, it would have been to keep it a little more on the rare side, but it wasn't chewy or overdone. Made some twice-baked garlic potatoes and fresh green beans in sauteed onions/garlic. I'm really liking this cooking (and devouring) stuff. :buddies:

OK showing my ignorance here, recipe looks fantastic, finished product looks fantastic, but what is " 1/2c evoo " ?

I was joking, I don't watch her either, but flipping channels one day I heard her mention EVOO and had to sit and wait to see what she was talking about. :killingme

That looks very delicious!

I have some fresh green beans and potatoes, too. I'm pretty sure how to prepare the both of them, but did you do anything specific or different technique-wise? I don't think I've ever made twice baked potatoes, actually.

I didn't know lance would be at Toot's. :tantrum

Actually, I didn't see the get together tread until after...

He might have been at Toot's, but he wasn't "at" the get together. See, Lance brought a person with him to hang out with, but he didn't come up and introduce himself to anyone in our group. Until he was leaving. So basically, he lurked.

Which speaks volumes about him. :coffee:

Yeah, it's easy to not make the connection, evoo just looks weird by itself. I'm not a fan of olives at all, none of them. I can tolerate them a little on pizza maybe or let one get past the taste buds if it's mixed in a salad. But other than that I don't ever eat them. Yet I love it for most cooking..

Thanks for the kind comments, all. :buddies:
