Answer 3

LONDON BROIL Servings: 8 (5 1/2 oz. each) 4 lbs (2 large) flank steaks FOR THE MARINADE (makes about 5 1/2 cups): 16 oz (2 cups) salad oil 8 oz (1 cup) soy sauce 8 oz (1 cup) Worcestershire sauce 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup sesame seeds 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp. ground ginger 1/4 tsp dry mustard MARINADE INSTRUCTIONS: Combine all ingredients for marinade; blend together well.

Marinade 24 hours minimum and not more than 4 days or flavor of the meat will be overpowered by marinade COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat grill to 360 degrees F for 1/2 hour. Drain marinade from meat. Reserve marinade up to two weeks if needed. Grill flank steak to medium rare. This will take approximately 10 minutes cooking time total. Hold cooked flank steak in warmer if necessary. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice cooked flank steak at 30 degree angle 1/8-inch thick slices: This is essential to keep flank steak tender.

Answer 4

cook some pasta according to packet instructions.
Meanwhile, take a big bunch of your favourite fresh herbs, I use parsley, coriander and basil, put these herbs in a blender (food processor) along with a generous glug of olive oil, some raw garlic (or not if you don't like garlic) and some spring onions, blitz this all down to a smooth paste then season to taste with salt and pepper. Finely grate some Parmesan cheese and add this to the herb mix. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add a dash of olive oil to make it glossy, then pour over the herb sauce, serve with crusty bread, delicious. You could also add some crispy bacon before serving.
