A Casual Saturday Evening Dinner

by Kimberly Hickok

(This is a repost. Jill graciously provided the exact measurements for her marinade. I’ve included it below.)

Good food, friends, stimulating conversation, wine and warm weather on the first day of spring all came together last night for a wonderful evening. Our hosts, Jill and John, couldn’t have have improved a thing.

Six teenagers, a newborn and seven adults enjoyed salsa/chips and asparagus wrapped with prosciutto for starters. For dinner there was grilled marinated london broil, caramelized onions, mushroom, crab-stuffed twice baked potatoes and a beautiful salad.

For dessert we had cheesecake.

The steak was delicious!

Jill’s London Broil Marinade

¼ cup Red Wine Vinegar

2 tbs. Olive Oil

2 tbs. Soy Sauce

2 tbs. Ketchup

1 clove chopped garlic

Pepper/onion powder

This recipe is enough for 3-4 lbs. of meat. Pierce the meat and turn it several times while marinating. Give the meat at least an hour, however refrigerating it overnight is best.

Her secret to grilling a perfect london broil is seven minutes a side, and then let it rest for 15 minutes. The steak was cooked perfectly – somewhere between medium and medium rare.

Jill’s London Broil – perfect!

 

The asparagus wrapped with prosciutto is super easy and delicious. Simply spread goat cheese on prosciutto, wrap around asparagus and bake at 375 until the prosciutto starts to brown. Easy!

Wonderful way to welcome my favorite season by sharing the evening with some of my favorite people! Kim, it was so good to see you and the family last night. It seems your son has grown almost a foot over the winter! The cheesecake was amazing as well, thank you to Junior’s restaurant for sharing your recipe!
