• 2 cups water
• 2 cubes beef bouillon
• 1/2 cup red wine (or more if you like a strong wine flavor)

• dash of cracked black pepper
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in the same amount of water (use tapioca starch if you’re grain-free)

For Sliders:

• 8 dinner rolls, halved and toasted
• thin sliced cooked steak, enough for 8 sliders (quality deli roast beef works great in a pinch!)
• mayonnaise
• optional: green onion for garnish

 
Directions:

Strain out onions and garlic, then return sauce to the pan.

Very slowly pour in dissolved cornstarch, stirring constantly. Simmer at least an additional 5 minutes, stirring to break up any clumps. Remove from heat.

THURSDAY

Marinated Flank Steak

Ingredients:

• 1 cup olive oil
• 3/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons stone ground mustard (dry mustard works if you’re in a pinch)

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 tablespoon onion powder
• 3 pounds flank steak

Directions:

Add all ingredients except flank steak to blender and run until smooth, reserve 1 cup for basting and dipping.

Pour remaining marinade over steak and refrigerate in a shallow pan or ziploc bag for at least 24 hours. (I like to freeze mine in the marinade for later.)

Cook on a medium heat grill, basting continually, for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until you reach desired doneness. (This can also be done under the broiler in your oven).
Allow to rest 2 minutes before cutting.

• Fresh spinach and/or arugula I like a mix of the two

When you're ready to eat, check and make sure your jar is sealed tightly, then give it a good shake to distribute the dressing evenly.
