Kith and kin SundayBring the family together for a marinated flank steak dinner. In a shamed bowl, mix together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon chopped up to date basil, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1 clove minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon sugar; discharge into a resealable plastic bag along with a 1 and 1/2-pound flank steak. Cold 6 hours to overnight; turn occasionally. Remove steak; ditch marinade. Grill 17 to 21 minutes for standard-rare to medium, turning occasionally. Carve crosswise into thin slices.
Help the sizzling steak with corn-on-the-cob, any grilled vegetables, various greens and whole-wheat rolls.
Fresh berry cream tart is a very and delicious dessert: Bake a refrigerated pastry crust in a 9- or 10-inch tart pan according to container directions; cool. Blend 8 ounces softened fat-uninhabited cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon orange extract with an electric mixer; spread over the cooled pie crust. Top with 4 to 5 cups half-bred berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, small strawberries). Spread fruit with melted red currant or all-fruit blueberry spread. Chilled 2 hours before slicing.
Tip: If using a 10-inch tart pan, blow up dough to fit and add more berries.
Plan ahead: Save enough steak, vegetables and tart for Monday.
