OT: Some Good Eats

This year, it seems to be either rain or cold weather at the old boat yard.

Even had a tornado touch down in SoCal.

The weather has been strictly wierd.

The sun was shining today but the wind coming in off the ocean was cold, so no work at the old boat yard today.

Picked up a London Broil at the supermarket, but no way did I want to screw around using a grill.

The following is one of my alternate London Broil cooking methods.

Cut the meat in 3/8" slabs, then cut the slabs into 3/8"x3/8"x1-1/2" pieces.

Prepared a marinade as follows:

1 Cup, Olive Oil 1 Cup, 2 Buck Chuck, Red Wine 1 Cup, Soy Sauce.

Marinate the meat overnight minimum, 2 days are better, then cook as follows:

Using a cast iron Dutch oven with 1/4" hot olive oil in bottom, brown small batches of the meat, removing the browned meat bowl.

2 Large, Onions, cleaned and sliced, then held for further use.

When meat has all been browned, add onions and saute.

2 Cans, sliced mushrooms.

Add mushrooms to pot when onions are clear for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Return meat to pot and stir, then add remaining marinate, stir, then cover and steam for about 5 minutes.

Turn off heat and let rest for about 5 more minutes.

To Serve:

Spoon mixture over open faced Hoagy bun including some Aus Jus gravy from the pot, then cover with shredded mozarella cheese.

Nuke sandwich in microwave for about 30 seconds or until cheese is melted.

Screw the carbs and whatever else the diet gurus wring their hands about.

ENJOY.

H Lew,

Sounds great. Haven't had an LB for some time. I think the marinade I use has beer, oil and soy as the main ingredients.

I usually try to marinate 8 hours+. Get the grill red hot and sear it for a couple minutes on both sides. Slice thin.

Hmmmm...beef....

I'm going to try your method next.

Do you use a tape measure or calipers to layout the meat cutlist? ;-)

Neither one of course. It's a trick question, right? That's what fences and indexing jigs are for. Sheesh!

Lew -

Y'know.... I just got one of them newfangled black saws, SawSnort or something - my eyes aren't the best anymore... but damn if it'll cut LB worth a darn. It kinda "tenderizes" the edges, just a leeedle.... and then BOOM - the blade dissapears - just like there's some sort of Union for sawblades. I'm even using a BRAND NEW Forrest Meatcutter II blade, with their special "What's for Dinner" ATB blade profile. Go figger....

Just as well - all the "aw shucks" gravy is making the top of the saw mighty slippery. I almost tipped my second Bloody Mary off the edge. What this saw needs is a cupholder!

Maybe I'll just microwave some hot dogs...

What's a good CAD program for designing the cuts?

Sounds to me like a job for an Incra jig.

Just FYI for the wreck: there's a BBQ newsgroup "alt.food.barbecue" that's got a LOT of great information (don't confuse it w/ "alt.pets.barbecue"; that's a WHOLE different topic). There's a fair bit of crossover between the wreck and the bbq group.
