Ingredients (Servings: 4)

STEAK:
1 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. brown sugar packed
3 T. cider vinegar
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
1 (2 lb.) flank steak
SALAD:
1 head romaine lettuce chopped
2 tomatoes on the vine seeded & chopped
1/2 sm. red onion thinly sliced
1/2 c. bleu cheese crumbles
1/4 c. whole pecans for garnish
bleu cheese dressing for serving

Instructions

STEAK: In a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, red pepper flakes, and pepper. Place steak in dish, turn steak over to coat the other side, then cover dish tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate or 2 hours, turning steak occasionally.

Clean and lightly oil grill grates. Heat grill to medium-high. Remove steak from marinade, allowing excess to drip back into the baking dish. Pour marinade into a saucepan and simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.

Grill steak covered for 4-5 minutes; flip steak over and brush with glaze. Grill until medium-rare, 4-5 minutes more. Allow meat to rest for 8 to 10 minutes before thinly slicing against-the-grain. Serve steak over salad.

SALAD: Arrange lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, bleu cheese crumbles, and pecans on a serving platter. Serve sliced steak over the top. Drizzle some glaze over the steak. Drizzle bleu cheese dressing over all OR simply pass the dressing at the table.

Creamy homemade clam chowder served in a warm sourdough bread bowl

 Ingredients

3 (6 1/2 oz.) cans minced clams with liquid
1 c. finely diced celery
1 c. finely chopped onions
3 c. peeled and cubed potatoes
4 c. half-and-half, warmed
3/4 c. butter
3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. ground thyme
Individual size sourdough bread, hollowed out for serving
 Directions

Place a strainer over a large pot. Drain the liquid from clams into the pot; set the clams aside. Add the celery, onions, and potatoes to the pot, and add just enough water to cover the vegetables. Cover the pot with a lid, and cook over medium heat until the potatoes are tender about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium-low heat warm the half-and-half, stirring occasionally; do not boil.
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in half-and-half, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth, about 5 minutes.
Carefully, pour the cream sauce into the vegetable pot, along with the clams, stir to combine; season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
Using a serrated knife, cut the top off of the sourdough bread. Hollow out to make a bowl, leaving a 1-inch wall and bottom. Reserve the bread pieces for dipping. Ladle chowder  into bowls and serve with bread pieces.
