Ok, just got my Sam the Cooking Guy newsletter and thought I'd share (the quotes are from Sam!)
1. Sweet & Spicy Flank 4 servings
A good flank steak is one of my favorite things. Just remember you have a day of marinating ahead you before you can eat it...
Ingredients
1 flank steak, about one and a half pounds
3 ounces chipotle peppers with adobo sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 bunch green onions
1/4 cup cilantro
8 ounces orange juice
Steps
Put all ingredients except flank in a food processor or blender and whirl until smooth
Put flank and marinade in a large Ziploc bag and seal - refrigerate over night
Remove from fridge 30-45 before grilling
Heat grill on high then grill flank about 5 minutes each side for medium rare
Slice into thin strips across grain to serve
2. Corn Salad Serves 4
You can use either fresh corn that you grill or a can of corn - and trust me...the can is very easy and still really really good. Don't knock it until you've made it.
Ingredients
3 ears of corn, husks removed, or
One-15 ounce can corn kernels
1 red pepper, diced small
fresh cilantro, finely chopped to make about 1/4 cup
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
4 ounces goat cheese crumbles
Juice from 1/2 lime
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Pinch of Kosher salt
Steps
Brush corn with olive oil and roast on the grill until softened and brown in spots - let cool, cut off husk and put in bowl, or
If using the canned corn, drain the water and cook corn in a very hot pan with a little oil until it softens a bit and starts to get browned in spots - then put in a bowl
Add all remaining ingredients and mix well - serve and smile
3. Pimm's Cup Makes 1
Pimms's is a gin based alcohol created in London in 1840 by the owner of a London oyster bar. It can be mixed with 7up, lemonade or in this case - ginger ale.
Ingredients
2 parts Pimm's
2 parts ginger ale
1 slice orange
1 long cucumber spear
Steps
Fill a glass with ice and add Pimm's and ginger ale
Squeeze and drop in orange wedge
Add cucumber to stir, then leave in and drink
