Blogger Recipe Shout Out: Skirt Steak

While reading new blogs this weekend, I came across a lot of good recipes that I wanted to try. I wish I could be more creative and create my own recipes, but I am a busy mom who needs as much structure and guidance as I can get.

I stumbled up a great recipe blog My Italian Grandmother by Michele. The story of Michele?s blog is a tribute to her grandmother who passed away. I am so moved by her passion to keep her grandmother?s recipes alive. She has great recipes that she posts everyday. I decided to try out her recipe for Skirt Steak as I thought it would be a great tasting quick recipe.

My Italian Grandmother?s Skirt Steak

Marinade Ingredients:
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp cumin
t tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp terriyaki sauce
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp honey (I used agave nectar for this)

I combined the above ingredients into a prep bowl.

Once the ingredients were mixed I poured it onto the steak in my Tupperware marinating container.

I let the steak marinate for about 2 hours.

It started to rain just as I was about put the grill on. This has been my luck this week. I decided to broil it instead.

I paired this tasty steak with a lentil pilaf and a salad.

What a great dinner! Thank you Michele for posting a great marinade recipe. This was much better than one of those bottles of marinade. It was sweet (probably because of the agave nectar) and tangy.

I am still under the weather. I am really happy for a day off on Friday to get some much needed rest.  I can?t wait to post my Easter Menu and my pictures! Happy Hump Day!!
