Teresa's Flank Steak

-1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
-salt & pepper
-1 tablespoon chili powder
-1/2 teaspoon thyme
-1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
-3 tablespoons smoked mustard
-2 tablespoon maple syrup
-1/2 teaspoon cumin
-juice of 1 lemon

I scored meat with 1/2 inch deep cut about an inch apart.  I dry rubbed the spices, mustard and maple and let sit for an hour.  I then added the olive oil, vinegar, tamari and lemon juice and I let sit for several hours.  Broiled on high on top rack for 8 minutes and flipped over for another 8 minutes.  I have an apartment oven so maybe need less time depending on your oven.

Mango Salsa

Was talking to my friend this morning about food...Jae this is for you...


This is my mom's recipe and is one of my favourites.  She would have gotten from either Chatelaine or Canadian Living, it may have been modified and possible been changed to suit her and my needs.

1/2 small red pepper coarsely

start by peeling and dicing mango, squeeze lime over mango.  Then add all the rest of the ingredients.  I serve this with anything...amazing with lamb, fish, chicken, pork.
