I used this creation on cheap cuts of Round Steak and a 1.5 pound London Broil and was surprised how tender the steaks were and the sauce was delicious. I also used it on chicken and it was an equal success. The marinade doubles as a sauce when simmered with shallots. Try on different cuts of steak, chicken or even pork. You will even find yourself running your veggies through the sauce! Created for RSC #12. Ingredients:
1/3 cup marsala (i used marsala ) or 1/3 cup dry red wine (i used marsala ) |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons seedless no-sugar-added strawberry preserves |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon splenda brown sugar blend |
1 tablespoon coffee, brewed |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
fresh ground pepper |
12 fresh cherries (pitted) or 12 frozen cherries (pitted) |
12 fresh blueberries or 12 frozen blueberries |
3 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped |
2 teaspoons butter |
Directions:
1. In a blender or food processor add wine, vinegar, strawberry preserves, garlic, Splenda, coffee, salt, pepper, pitted cherries and blueberries. Puree.
2. Place meat in a large zip lock bag and pour in marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or over night for steak and for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours for chicken.
3. Remove meat and pour marinade into a small saucepan. Add finely chopped shallot and set aside.
4. Preheat broiler or prepare grill. Broil or grill meat until cooked to desired doneness.
5. While meat is grilling bring sauce to a boil and then simmer. Stir in butter.
6. If using London Broil, thinly slice crosswise, against the grain. Add any juices on the cutting board to the sauce. Serve with sauce. If using chicken or other steak cuts - serve with sauce.
