BBQ Flank Steak

(courtesy diehardlionsfan from the original forums)

Ingredients

1 12-ounce jar orange marmalade

1/2cup red wine vinegar

1 TBSP chili powder

2 TBSP A1 steak sauce

1/2 cup ketchup

2 TBSP Dijon Mustard

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.

3 pounds flank steak

Salt and pepper to taste.

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix 'em up well. Set aside 1 cup of the marinade (see step #3 & #4) and add the flank steak to the remaining marinade and coat well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

2.Preheat your BBQ grill so it's pretty darn hot. Toss the steak on the grill
pour some of the marinade on top. After a minute to get a good sear, flip the flank steak over and pour a bit more of the marinade on that side. Discard any leftover marinade (since it had been on raw meat). Turn the BBQ burner down to medium. Flip again after 4 more minutes, and then remove after 4 additional minutes. This will be fairly rare; add a 1-2 minutes per side for more well done.

3. While you let the flank steak sit for 5 minutes, microwave the cup of marinade that you put aside earlier so it is good-n-hot.

4. Spread half of the marinade across the steak and cut again the grain into thin slices. Provide the last of the marinade for those that want a little extra on their pieces, and start chowing down!

Ingredients

Two Packages of 6 oz. Portabello mushrooms (sliced or whole)

1 pound of shrimp

1 Cup of Tarragon Vinegar

1 Cup of Olive Oil

2 packages of Good Seasonings Italian Dressing Mix (try to buy the package that comes with the free cruet)

2 tablespoons of butter

Fresh Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

1) Cook pasta al dente and set aside in a colander.

2) Cut up mushrooms into 1 inch cubes. Peel and de-vein shrimp. In a cruet, combine ½ cup of tarragon vinegar, ½ cup of olive oil, and 1 package of Italian dressing mix. Shake and set aside.

3) Sauté mushrooms in butter until dark and saturated with butter, but still firm. Shake oil mixture once more and pour on top of mushrooms. Shake it well! Let it cook for 5 minutes on low heat while making another oil mixture identical to the previous one. Mix in shrimp and second oil mixture. Let it cook 5-7 minutes on medium heat – only until shrimp is pink! Be careful to not overcook shrimp. Make the dish by putting a handful of pasta on the plate and graciously adding sauce to the top.
