Recipe of the Week: Marinated London Broil With Sauteed Mushrooms
An inexpensive cut of beef becomes a new favorite with just the right marinade and a savory mushroom side.
"When you're on the Queen Catherine, don't let 'em give you any of that flank steak crap. You know what I mean? Try the London Broil." ~Quote from Cabin Boy
I have been trying to tighten our budget for awhile now and that has included everything from the cable bill to the grocery tab, the latter being the toughest. I read blogs written by thrifty ladies who somehow manage to spend a paltry fifty dollars a week to feed a family of five. I'm not talking about hot dogs and cans of beans for dinner either; these ladies make healthy meals every day. I have yet to get anywhere in the vicinity of fifty dollars a week for groceries but I have been able to cut it back a bit.
One thing I've done recently is to switch from a pricier cut of beef, rib eye, to a less expensive one-flank steak. Though the flank steak takes a bit more prep, (a good rib eye needs nothing more than salt & pepper to make it taste delicious) the end result is really very good and the savings is huge. All you need is a good marinade...and a tasty mushroom saute helps too.
