Tues. night dinners (catch up)

I am determined to get these caught up!

                                                     
                                                  Dan's Peppery London Broil
1 beef flank steak (about 3/4 lb.)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
Wish a meat fork, poke holes in both sides of meat. Make a paste with the garlic, salt and red pepper flakes and rub over both sides of steak. Place the steak in a resalable gallon-size plastic bag. Add Worcestershire sauce and close bag. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours turning once. Remove meat and discard marinade. Broil or grill until meat reaches desired doneness, about 4-5 min. on each side. To serve, slice thinly across the grain. Yield: 2 servings.
Note: This is normally eaten on the rare side.

Creamy Cucumber and Tomato Salad

3 med. tomatoes or cherry tomatoes cut in half

2 med. cucumbers

1/2 med. onion

1 large garlic clove

3 Tbl. mayo

3 Tbl. sour cream

1/8 tsp. pepper

Cut the tomatoes into 1" pieces, cut the cucumbers in half and slice and thinly slice the 1/2 onion.

Place in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix well.

Mix the dressing into the vegetables. Add salt to taste just before serving.

Note: I used plain yogurt instead of the sour cream because it was cheaper to buy and it did fine.
