Sorry about my lack of Menu Plan Monday last week. To be honest, it was because I didn’t have a plan!! 
But thanks to the great beef sale at Target (that I will be taking part in again this week) we had steaks and roast and all kinds of yummy beef that we don’t normally have.
Anyone have a good recipe for a London Broil cut of meat? I fixed it like a roast last week, but I know there has got to be a better way to do it!
Alright, here’s what’s on the menu for this week…
Monday: Beef Stew in the crock pot
Tuesday: Paprika Chicken with rice and veggies
Wednesday: Something with my London Broil cut of meat (this is where I need you guys’ help!)
Thursday: Leftovers!
Friday: Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad
Saturday: Grilled Steaks, baked potatoes and broccoli (for the baked potatoes I poke them with a fork, rub olive oil and salt on them, and then bake them on 350 for about an hour — they skins turn out crispy and the inside is mushy… SO GOOD!)
Sunday: Turkey burgers, oven baked sweet potatoes and green beans (for oven baked sweet potatoes, I cut them into small wedges, lightly coat them in olive oil, and sprinkle them with a little bit of salt and any seasoning you might like — then bake at 350 until they start to brown on the outside a little)

Your menu sounds yummy! I make my baked potatoes EXACTLY the same way!

When I make London Broil, I marinate it in Schilling Meat Marinade (has to the that brand!) then we grill it until med rare. It’s delicious done that way.

Here's a great Cooking Light recipe for London Broil. http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1734303
If you don't have fresh thyme or shallots, skip them or substitute something else you have on hand. It's a very forgiving and delicious. My husband and toddler son love it.
Great site! Thanks for all your work!

I am so inspired by you! I made my very first meal plan yesterday for this coming week. I’m baking a WHOLE chicken and onions in the crockpot… a first for me
I don’t know if it’s the economy, wanting to be frugal to prioritize with our money what is important to us, or the desire to give more money to better places like our church and ministries rather than the grocery store… but I like it 
THANKS!

Hi again… sorry to make two posts
I was looking around some other blogs, and I found what looks to be a cheap, easy, and delicious roast recipe that you could use for your London Broil. I found it on MomAdvice at
http://www.momadvice.com/food/slow_cooker_recipes4.aspx
The recipe:
To Die For Pot Roast
Serves 8
Ingredients
1 beef roast – any kind
1 package dried brown gravy mix
1 package dried Italian salad dressing mix
1 package dried ranch dressing mix
1 cup water
Place beef roast in slow cooker. Mix the dried mixes together in a bowl and sprinkle over the roast. Pour the water around the roast. Cook on low for seven to nine hours.
Looks yummy! This section of the site has TONS of slow cooker recipies…. I’ll be trying some, too!

my best london broil recipe is for pot roast, but if you had it last week, you probably don’t want it again, though it makes its own gravy and is to die for:) if you like bleu cheese, there is an awesome recipe on allrecipes.com, i don’t recall the exact name, but maybe kickin’ london broil? this is a super easy dinner and doesn’t take long at all if i remember correctly…it is a little spicy so you may have to tailor to your families preferences. good luck!

For london broil I pop it in a big zippy, add lots of crushed garlic, cracked pepper, fresh sprigs of rosemary and olive oil..make sure the meat is good and coated and marinate for a day. Grill or broil to desired temp (rare/med. rare, etc.) and then be SURE to slice the meat against the grain.

My favorite preparation for London Broil is from Cook's Illustrated website. (More detailed instructions are posted there). It is grilled and served with chimmichurri sauce. Great dish for the summer months because you don't have to heat up your kitchen! The key with this meat is to keep it medium rare or less….
Sprinkle both sides evenly with kosher salt. Wrap tightly with plastic and refrigerate 3+ hours. Fill a large bowl/bucket/pot with warm water (100F). Place wrapped meat in ziploc, seal tightly and submerge in warm water for one hour (room temp). Put a plate or something on top to keep it in the water.
Get your grill ready.
Remove steak from water, unwrap and brush with vegetable oil & sprinkle with pepper.
Grill until rare or med-rare. Remove from grill and let it rest 10 minutes. Slice thinly on the bias.
Serve with chimichurri sauce:
1 cup packed fresh parsley leaves (washed and dried)
5 med garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 c. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. water
1/4 c. finely minced red onion
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
Process garlic and parsley in food processor until minced fine. Transfer to a bowl, whisk in remaining ingredients and serve (can be refrigerated for 3 days).
The London Broil is best if not overcooked so we use the leftovers cold–either with the leftover chimmi sauce, or in salads/sandwiches. The leftover meat is delicious in a salad of romaine, tomatoes, red onion, vinaigrette, blue cheese crumbles…

How about Steak Picado. You cut up the london broil into bite size or a little larger. Begin cooking in a soup pan on low-med heat for about an hour. You will want to alternate covering and not so you can build up some juices. Add one bell pepper finely chopped and about half or so of an onion. Cook for another 20 mins or so for the juices from the veg to come into play. Then you add a whole jar of salsa and about 2-3 tbs of bbq sauce. It is very good and juicy. Can be served with chips, tortillas or in a bread bowl. Good luck and enjoy!
