Recipes Cooking Food

Have you ever found a really good recipe in a really strange place? I found one in the Southwest Illinois Tourism booklet. Who would ever link tourism with homemade food? Of course Illinois is well known for it’s beef. Most of the best is grown in Iowa, but there are some large stock yards there. But I digress. The receipt I found was for a London Broil and let me tell you it was delicious. You start with a shoulder steak and you rub it with your favorite oil. You salt the meat and use course cut pepper and some special spices. You rub it all over the oiled steak and then broil it four inches away from the heat for four minutes on each side. When you take it out you tent it with foil for ten minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute themselves throughout the meat. After ten minutes you cut the meat on the bias which is the way to cut beef so it is the most tender. Served with fried potatoes it is a meal fit for a king. I like my potatoes sprinkled with seasoning salt and I like them to be red potatoes with the skin on. Paired with an appropriate wine you can even serve it as a romantic dinner for two…
