I never understood why someone would take the time to grill a London Broil without marinading it. There are so many maranades you can use on a London Broil that are quick and easy. All it takes is for you to know that you are having a steak for dinner the night before. Stop eating your London Broil with no flavor today, try this simple London Broil marinade and enjoy a delicous steak tomorrow!
Be sure to follow steps for both Wet and Dry Ingredients.
Dry Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons Of Garlic Powder
3 Tablespoons Dried Thyme

This recipe works great as a BBQ appetizer, I could not resist it, looked so good that it had to be posted. Hate to do it but this one was taken from July 2009 issue of Good Housekeeping. If you are a little scared of goat cheese for any reason we are here to tell you don't be. It is a creamy, delicous cheese that melts in your mouth, similar to cream cheesse, only it has a slightly more acidic flavor. The combination of caramelized onions, goat cheese, and a crusty bread Oooof!
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Vidalia Onions (sliced thin)
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper

I recently got into infusing my own vodka's, thanks to a great birthday gift from my father. He has been doing it for years and I always enjoyed the vodka's that he made. You will need a large infuser that will hold at least 1 1/2 bottles of vodka. The larger infuser, the larger the party you can have. Personally I enjoy pouring a shot full here and there, because it tastes so good. I purchased my infuser from STEAKNIGHT Magazine's Essentials.  Along with my infuser came a bunch of recipes that I would like to share with you. But before I do that I would like to share the one recipe that I know...

Flank and skirt steaks are probably one of the most underrated on the market. I beg of you to go out and make one of these yourself, you will immeaditly become a fan, I promise. These steaks are loaded with flavor and hold on to marinades nicely.  World renowned Chef, Rocco DiSpirito had a news feed that came accross STEAKNIGHT Magazine for his twist on an Orange Marmalade Flank Steak. It looked to good to resist so here it is.

I was looking through my beer cellar today, not sure what I was really looking for. Being a warm June day in Jersey I was kind of surprised when I picked out the Troegs Mad Elf Holiday ale; this is an 11% ABV beer brewed with cherries and honey. As I was reading the label, I thought that the cherries and honey in this beer plus the alcohol might make for a pretty good steak marinade.
I had sirloin steak in the fridge, which in my opinion is not a very good cut of meat and needs a marinade to help it. First I put the steak in a Pyrex baking dish that was slightly bigger then the steak...
