Sunday afternoon

Same hot Sunday.
Now a shower bursts through the neighborhood.
Scurry to close some windows.
Heat quickly builds again with the lack of a breeze (windows closed).

When is dinner? About 6:00 PM.
What's for dinner? London broil on the grill.
And baked onion potatoes? No, too hot for that. Rice-a-roni.
What kind? Well, if you make it, you can choose.
Okay, the rice is mine!

Yes, team work for dinner tonight.

The London Broil recipe has been in the family for a bit. Exactly where it came from (other than the in-laws) is not known.

We usually get a couple of 1 lb pieces of beef. Marinate for a couple of hours with the ingredients listed below. Fire up the grill. Cook quickly to sear each side and seal in the juice. Remove from the heat and slice diagonally, put back into the marinade, drench each piece completely, then replace on the grill until done. The smaller pieces cook quickly on a good medium heat grill.

The two pieces will feed four with left overs (intentionally done). The left overs will be a school night supper made quicker.

London Broil Marinade

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons catsup
onion salt (to taste)
garlic powder (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)

For the two pieces of meat (1 lb each) we usually triple this recipe to provide enough for the marinade and for the coating while cooking.
