London Broil with Curry Coconut and Peanut Sauce

This is a CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP and AMAZING meal with two sides for $8.95

This recipe uses a London Broil which is typically a tougher and cheaper piece of meat. I you would like you can use flank steak (but be careful because flank steak tends to be a thinner piece of meat and could get over cooked) You do need a grill for this recipe. I am not sure who this recipe was created by, I just happened to come across it in a recipe search.



London Broil with Curry Coconut and Peanut Sauce

4 to 6 servings

Ingredients:



London Broil (I got a 1.85lb roast) cost $ 5.53

olive oil (on hand)

salt (on hand but got a 1 lb 10 oz thing of salt for $0.33)

pepper (on hand)


1 can coconut milk (I got a can at Publix for $0.99)

1/3 cup brown sugar (on hand)

1/4 cup peanut butter (on hand)

Juice from 1 lime ($0.25)

2 teaspoons curry powder (on hand)

scallions (green onions, on hand)

dried coconut (on hand) These last two are just toppings if you don't have it, it won't make or break your meal!



Season beef with salt, pepper, and olive oil on both sides. Heat grill to high heat and cook meat on each side for 5 minutes. NO MORE! I am going to do 4 minutes this time because we like our meat a little more pink~ I was skeptical of this at first, but it cooks perfectly! After cooking put tin foil over it on a plate and leave covered until ready to eat.



While meat is cooking put ingredients for the sauce in a pan and bring to low boil stirring often. Once it boils just let it simmer until ready to serve.



Once ready to serve slice beef in thin strips, top with curry sauce, toasted coconut and scallions. Serve over rice and with a side of roasted veggies. I am doing roasted leeks and mushrooms becuase I had them on hand.
