Grilled London Broil with Kale and Potatoes 

 

• Sebastopol Farmer’s Market inspired seasonal recipe by Tiffany Rickert
• London Broil serves 4

 

Ingredients for marinade:

• 1 ½ to 2 pounds London Broil (Joe Matos Cheese & Farmstead Company)
• ¾ cup local Olive Oil
• ¼ to ½ cup local Honey (Hector’s Honey)
• ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar (Dean Family Farm)
• 8 cloves – whole head of garlic, crushed or minced
• 2 tbsp Tomato Jam (Dominique’s Sweets)
• 2 tsp Red Pepper Sauce (Triple T Farm)
• 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tbsp salt
• 2 tsp black pepper

 

Ingredients for Kale and Potatoes:

• Baby Potatoes
• Kale (Red Russian is my personal favorite)
• Fresh thyme leaves
• Local Olive Oil
• Bacon, cooked and crumbled (Takenoko Farm)
• Salt
• Black Pepper

 

Begin by marinating London Broil for at least 2 hours up to overnight.

Combine all marinade ingredients and add to leak proof container or zip lock bag. Using a sharp knife, cut ½ inch cross hatch pattern ¼ inch deep into both sides of the London Broil roast, place in leak proof container, evenly coat with marinade and turn occasionally. Bring to room temperature one hour before grilling.

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Preheat grill to 450 degrees for direct heat cooking.

 

Quarter potatoes, place in large bowl and toss with enough olive oil to coat. Lay potatoes flat on baking sheet to season with salt, pepper and fresh thyme. Place Kale in the same large bowl used for potatoes to rub and coat with olive oil. Add a touch of salt and pepper and place on baking sheet with potatoes. Roast for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 

Grill London Broil over direct heat for 2- 4 minutes per side, rotating regularly until the internal temp reaches 130- 135 degrees, monitoring closely. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

 

Set sliced London Broil over roasted Kale and Potatoes, top with crumbled bacon, garnish with fresh thyme and serve family style alongside grilled peaches and St. Jorge Original (Joe Matos Cheese & Farmstead Company)
