Beef Archives - The Rustic Heart

Meatloaf is one of those things that doesn’t sound exciting, but when it is good….it is really good. Not only is it good the first time, it is truly an amazing sandwich on day two. This meatloaf is tender and full of flavor.

It doesn’t get any easier than this. Put the meat, cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, milk, eggs (they aren’t in the picture…sorry), salt and pepper in a bowl and mix it together. Don’t over mix. When everything is combined, then stop mixing.

Shape it into a loaf and bake for 1 hour.

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

2 Lbs Chopped Meat – This can be all beef or a combination of beef, pork and veal or any combination you want.

2 Eggs

1/3 Cup Bread Crumbs

1/2 Cup Milk

1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley – chopped

1 Cup Parmesan Cheese

1/2 tsp Pepper

2 tsp Salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t over mix. Shape into a loaf and place in baking pan. Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature is 160º.

This is absolutely delicious on the grill. The longer you can marinate the meat, the better it will be. I like to put steak on a charcoal grill so the taste is rustic and fantastic.

Ingredients

Meat Marinade/Tenderizer
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
2 TBSP Red Wine Vinegar
2 TBSP Lemon Juice
1 ½ TBSP Dijon Mustard
1 TBSP Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp Rosemary
1 tsp Basil
1 tsp Parsley
2 Garlic Cloves – Crushed
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

Put a 2 lb London Broil in a Ziploc bag with the marinade. Close the bag letting out all of the air. Squish the meat and marinade together until the meat is completely covered. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but preferably over night.The best way to cook the London Broil is on the grill, but if you are not able to grill the meat, broil it inside. It will be delicious.I always recommend using a meat thermometer when cooking any type of meat. Here are the readings on my thermometer:

Medium Rare: 145º
Medium: 160º
Well Done: 170º
