- 1 x London Broil (about 3 lbs.)
- 2 tsp Unseasoned meat tenderizer
- 2 Tbsp. Instant onion

- 2 tsp Thyme
- 1 x Bay leaf
- 1/2 c. Oil
- 1/4 c. Cracked peppercorns
- I do not know if this is exactly the Pepper Steak recipe requested earlier by I. Chaudhary, but it's one of our favorites.
- We eat this practically year-round and it's good warm or possibly cool.
- Makes terrific sandwiches the nextday.
- My mom found this recipe years ago in a magazine - Woman's Day or possibly Family Circle, I think - which featured celebrity chefs.
- This was from Alan Ladd - and I probably just dated myself with which one (I'm really not which old!).
- For those who do not know who Alan Ladd was, he was a great movie star - best movie was "Shane" - at least a three hanky.
- Anyway, here's the recipe.
- Sprinkle meat with tenderizer, pierce with a fork (make lots of pierces so the marinade soaks thru), and place in baking dish.
- Mix rest of ingredients, except peppercorns, in a bowl and pour over meat.
- Lift meat up so marinade gets under it and can soak through.
- Marinate overnight (I usually start this in the evening and let it marinate overnight and all the next day) in refrigerator, turning frequently.
- When ready to grill or possibly broil, remove meat from marinade and lb.
- half the peppercorns into each side.
- Broil to desired doneness.
- Slice meat thinly and on the diagonal and serve.
- We always cook this on our grill outside.
- It has a wonderful taste - very peppery and if desired it spicier, add in more peppercorns.
- I've given up measuring them.
- Hint: I take whole peppercorns, put them in a zippered heavy-duty plastic bag, and lb.
- them with my meat mallet.
- We've also tried different red wines for the marinade - burgandy, sangria, etc.
- And get a bottle large sufficient to enjoy some while you're grilling!
