kosmickitten and bernesemntdog came over for dinner - iron on iron with iron. Specifically, spinach salad with assorted other greens, raisins, cheese, and thin sliced flank steak on top. The flank steak was marinated in Worcestershire Sauce, freshly grated ginger, garlic and honey. This was the second time we've had that particular salad - the general opinion is that we should 'do it again!'
After dinner, I called my mother and step-mother, and tried to call my sister-in-law. Mom is doing fine. Dad and step-mom had their big garage this weekend - they're selling their house and are going to be full-time RV'ers.

Date: 2006-05-16 01:17 am (UTC)The salad is your basic 'start tossing stuff together in a big bowl' - for four people we actually used four 2 quart Corelle bowls and assembled them individually. Three bags ready-to-serve salad greens (spinach, young leaf lettuces, iceberg), 8 oz. shredded cheese, 10 or 12 oz. of raisins - split them up amongst the bowls. Marinate and cook (broil, in this case) 2 lbs. flank steak. Let the steak sit for 'a while' to rest, thinly slice across the grain and at a diagonal from vertical. Put 1/4 of the steak on top of each bowl. Dig out all the salad dressings in the refrigertor and cupboard, put on the table for people to take their choice.
The marinade was kind of by guess and taste - 1/4-1/2 cup Worcestershire, about a cubic inch of ginger root, grated (I <3 my microplane), a tablespoon or so of honey, a generous quantity of garlic (I was using the pre-minced from-a-bottle stuff, so I used lots). Pour over meat, toss, let stand long enough.
