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.
