Skipped lunch (as usual) so I made an early dinner.

I made Beef ( london broil) cut into cubes with marinara sauce, rough cut onionsand mushrooms…served with spaetzle

First the beef was cubed put on salt/ pepper, paprika,
and garlic powder. Then dredged in flour..fried in three
batches with a little olive oil…removed to plate and fried a
Rough chopped onion until lightly browned,..

Then added 1/2 cup white wine to deglaze the pan…and added about
one cup marinara sauce and about 1/2 cup water, salt/ pepper,
a couple pinches of Italian seasoning, a pinch thyme…simmered for
a few minutes.
Then transferred everything to the crock pot.

The mushrooms are dried mushrooms soaked in warm water for 20
minutes …then drained off and soaked in boiling water for 5 minutes…
Drained again and I saved the mushrooms and flavorful mushroom water to
add to the crock pot later…

Set timer for 1 1/2 hours on high…after 1 1/2 hrs…lowered temp to low and
cooked for another hour..then added the mushrooms and cooked for 30 more
minutes longer…also I added some of the mushroom water.
The beef was so tender that you could cut it with a fork.
Served with Spaetzle and a side salad and garlic bread. Made enough Spaetzle
that I could freeze two packages of it.👍
It was all soo delicious.

I haven't seen London Broil or skirt steak around here in 30 years. People here don't know how to cook or eat.

Jeeze…thirty years ago you could get it? That’s nuts!

You can't get skirt in TX?!? I was butterflying about 30 a day at a place I worked in Corpus Christi. The shop stocked the outside (fajita meat) and inside skirt.

London Broil goes in the store ad at least once a month in my area. I've long had a fondness for it.

Yeah and I lost a portion of the first finger above the first joint while slicing cooked skirt steak for fajitas. Never did find the meat and fingernail in the fajitas.

Not that I've seen in the grocery stores I frequent. Like I said people in this little don't cook, I call it the city of brother and sister better than you. I don't find in.

Wooley, you don’t have an HEB? HEB here carries both.

Yes we have one but I seldom go there, maybe I should check it out. Their website claims they do. London broil $7.20/lb, skirt steak $8.23/lb. The last I had in 1984/5 was $0.69/lb for either. I guess that was all I'll every have.

And 29 cent toys on the pegboard.

My preferred whole animal butcher ran a hot sale 2 weeks in a row. Shopper's choice of skirt, flank, or hanger steak for $3.99/lb. I'm so full up on meats that if I bought frozen foods I'd have to put them in the camper freezer.

 

[Wooleybooger]

Same here, freezer is stuffed with meat and butter, 3/4 of the frig is full of meat. Add beer and sodas and hardly any room for left overs.
