Marinated Flank Steak with Asparagus and Carmelized Sweet Potato Wedges

Tonight’s main dish came from a recipe my sister shared with me.  The marinade is simple and adds a lot of flavor to a less expensive cut of meat.  I recommend marinating the meat overnight for maximum flavor. 

Marinated Flank Steak:

1 1/2 to 2 Lbs. Flank Steak or London Broil

1/4 C. Soy Sauce

2 Tbsp. Honey

2 Tbsp. White Vinegar

1/2 tsp. Ground Ginger

1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder

1/2 C. Vegetable Oil

Whisk all ingredients together and pour over meat in a shallow dish or large ziplock bag.  Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.  Grill or broil to your preferred level of doneness.

Carmelized Sweet Potato Wedges:

2 Large Sweet Potatoes (or more depending on how many people you are feeding)

2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar

3 Tbsp. Butter

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.  Wash and dry potatoes and slice into quarters or slightly smaller.  Heat brown sugar, butter and cinnamon until melted either on the stove or in a microwaveable container.  Toss wedges in the mixture to coat and place on a baking sheet.  Cook for 30-40 minutes.

Asparagus:

1 Bundle Asparagus

1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder

Rinse and dry asparagus.  Cut off the tough bottom ends and place on a baking sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder.  Toss to coat and spread out in an even layer.  Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
