Red Wine Marinated London Broil topped with Blue Cheese Butter and Caramelized Shallots

Place a 1 1/2 pound London Broil in a deep dish.
Sprinkle with Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Salt on both sides.
Then pour 1 cup Red Wine into the dish, drizzling over the meat (we used Firestone Cabernet Franc).
Turn to coat every 15 – 20 minutes for about 1 1/2 hours.

Preheat grill on “Sear” setting.
Sear meat on both sides for 2 – 3 minutes.
Turn adjacent burner to medium heat and turn sear burners off.
Continue to cook meat over indirect heat for 20 – 30 minutes until it reaches preferred doneness.
Slice thinly and top with Blue Cheese Butter and Caramelized Shallots.

Fresh from the grill
Blue Cheese Butter
Flavored butters are a wonderful and easy way to enhance steak’s natural flavor.  You can make all kinds of combinations.  
In a food processor, blend:
1 sick Butter, cubed
4 ounces Blue Cheese, crumbled
Blend and scrape down the sides several times until thoroughly combined.
Top steak with 1 – 2 Tablespoons Blue Cheese Butter.
The rest will keep in the refrigerator in a sealed container for 1 week and can also be used for sandwiches.

Caramelized Shallots
Thinly slice 4 Shallots
Sautee in a small saucepan over low heat in 1 Tablespoon Butter .
Stir occasionally.
When Shallots are completely softened, sprinkle with a pinch of Sugar and stir until coated.


Golden Mashed Potatoes
Peel and dice 6 Yukon Gold Potatoes
Place in a deep saucepan and fill with water to about 1-inch above potatoes.
Sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon Salt
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 15 minutes until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
Strain potatoes and return to warm pan.  
Add:
1/4 cup Butter, cubed 
1/4 cup Heavy Cream
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Mash with a potato masher until they reach desired consistency.
Sauteed Spinach

In a deep skillet with a lid, saute over medium heat:
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
3 Cloves Garlic, minced

When garlic begins to brown, add 1 pound fresh Spinach, and cover with lid for about 8 minutes.  When spinach is wilted. add Salt & Pepper to taste and stir until coated with oil.  

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over top.
