One of My Favorite Home-Cooked Meals of Late
Garlic Sautéed Cauliflower with Sweet and Spicy London Broil
I’ve been cooking a lot more often lately. The other day, I bought a London broil on sale from Ralphs. Well, it was labeled “London Broil” but I’ve since learned that what I actually bought was a flank stank. A London broil is not a cut of meat but a dish; according to Wikipedia:
“London broil is a North American beef-based food dish usually made by broiling or grilling marinated flank or round steak and then cutting it against the grain into thin strips.”
I didn’t want to just broil it plain and found a recipe on the the Food Network’s website for Sweet and Spicy London Broil. I followed the recipe almost exactly with the addition of a squeeze of lime juice and a dash of garlic powder. The paste/rub had such a rich, dark red color and I slathered it on generously.
Additionally, I made super sure that, after letting it rest, my slices were against the grain. This is uber important, especially for this cut of steak, to ensure tenderness. I even looked up an article to make sure I would do it correctly.
I am thrilled with how it came out. It was so delicious: juicy, spicy, a bit sweet and tangy. Even Tim, who usually doesn’t eat red meat, gobbled it up. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
