Greek Inspired London Broil Food

GREEK INSPIRED LONDON BROIL

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together half each of basil and oregano; the garlic, olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice. Before placing the meat inside a resealable plastic bag, lightly score both sides with a sharp knife diagonally against the grain. This will allow the marinade to seep more easily into the meat, and can be used as a guide for slicing later on. Pour the marinade over the meat, massage it onto the meat, seal the bag and refrigerate for two hours; after one hour, turn bag over.
• Also after one hour, prepare the "salsa" by lightly combining the tomatoes, shallot, olives and remaining half teaspoon of the basil and oregano; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Add the feta cheese to the mixture just before serving with the meat.
• Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil, spray the rack with nonstick spray and insert into the pan. Take the meat out of the bag (discard the bag and excess marinade), place on the rack and place the pan on the center rack inside the oven. After 20 minutes, turn the roast over; after 15 minutes the meat will be rare, 20 minutes for medium-rare. Remove to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to allow its juices to settle within itself before slicing; slice against the grain and thinly. Serve with the Greek "salsa".

LONDON BROIL WITH ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• For the meat: Mix garlic, rosemary, balsamic vinegar, wine, olive oil, and black pepper to taste in a self-sealing plastic bag or a shallow dish. Add the meat, turning to coat, and cover or seal. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
• Prepare an outdoor grill with a hot fire for indirect grilling.
• For the marmalade: On a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (or a doubled piece of regular), toss the onions with the rest of the marmalade ingredients. Bring edges of foil up and crimp closed. Place package on the edge of the grill (over medium-high heat). Cook, turning the sealed package every now and then so the onions cook evenly until meltingly tender, about 45 minutes.
• Remove the meat from the marinade, pat it dry, and season generously with salt and black pepper to taste. Lightly oil the grill and sear the meat over high heat for 5 minutes. Then rotate it (don't turn it over yet) about 45 degrees from its original spot on the grill. Once you've made your grill mark, flip and repeat on the other side. Move the steak to the cooler side of the grill, cover with an aluminum pan, and cook, rotating (not flipping) periodically, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak registers 125 degree sF, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let steak rest on a cutting board about 10 minutes.
• For the toast: Meanwhile, sprinkle garlic cloves with salt. With the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear garlic mixture into a paste. Mix with the butter. Lightly oil the grill, place bread over direct heat, and toast on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes total. Remove bread from grill and spread generously with the garlic butter. Thinly slice steak against the grain on an angle. Top toasts with onion marmalade, arugula, and sliced meat. Serve open-faced with mustard and/or horseradish.
