Review of last recipe (photo above) - Well, baking has never really been my forte.  Sure I can bake cookies and certain desserts, but have never mastered pastry dough and pie dough.  I realize my baking equipment is quite old and, in some cases, non-existent (for example, I had to go out and buy a bundt pan for the rum cake a few blogs ago, and my muffin tins which I used in the last dessert recipe are at least 25 years old).  So I didn't expect to have a tart pan, never mind two 4" tart pans, so made this in a pie plate.  To break it down, my crust is not pretty (but was very tasty), the filling was scant and not as flavorful as I would have liked.  Will not be making this again ... we'll see how the husband likes it.

TODAY'S RECIPE - CALIFORNIA BARBECUED STEAK
From Family Circle Magazine, which I believe is still in circulation.

Serves 10

1 2" thick top sirloin steak (about 2 1/2 lbs)
3/4 cup catsup
3/4 cup chili sauce
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional)
3 tbsp minced green onions
3 cloves garlic, mashed
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Put steak in a plastic food bag.  Combine the rest of the ingredients and pour mixture into the bag with the steak.  Fasten securely.  Place bag in a shallow pan and let marinate in refrigerator 24 hours, turning occasionally.

Lift steak out of marinade, pat dry and broil 4" from the heat, brushing several time with the marinade; about 8 minutes on each side for rare.
