Recipe 34: Blech!
Dec. 1st, 2006 12:06 pm(Otherwise known as slow-cooker London Broil, from allrecipes.com.)
Okay.... armed with the theory that one can take a cheap cut of beef and do something clever with it, like marinade it, to make it edible... we tried this recipe:
2lbs flank steak; 1 can condensed tomato soup; 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup; 1 package dried onion soup mix. Place steak in bottom of slow cooker; combine soups and pour over top; top with soup mix; slow cook on low for eight hours; eat.
Okay, I remember Mom doing something sort-of similar with cheap meat and dried onion soup mix, and I remember liking it at the time. So we followed this recipe, except that R will not eat mushrooms at any time, in any form, for any reason, at all, ever. (This is what happens when you graduate from RIT, not UCSC. ;-) So we used cream of onion soup mix, which seemed like a reasonable substitute.
Sadly, though, the result was stringy, chewy, and tasted like it had been stewed in flavored onion salt. (Too much onion, apparently.) Bleck! Time to try something else.
