Recipe: Miso-Glazed Stuffed London Broil

I visited Mitsuwa the other day and came home with a couple of Japanese ingredients including Enoki Mushrooms, Rice Vinegar, Nira and Miso Paste. I decided to incorporate this with the dish I wanted to make tonight. You can stuffed the meat the night before which I did with this recipe. Or you can make this 2 hours ahead of your cooking time.

Miso-Glazed Stuffed London Broil

1/2 cup garlic, minced
1/2 cup Nira
1/2 cup parsley
2 tbsp paprika powder
1 tbsp lemon pepper powder
1 tbsp Japanese rice vinger
10 bell mushrooms, quartered
1 pkg Enoki mushrooms, cleaned.
3 tbsp miso paste
1 1/2 lb London Broil


Mix the first three ingredients.
Cut a pocket into the London broil and sprinkle paprika and lemon pepper. Stuff with the mixed herbs and close with toothpicks. Rub the outside of the London broil with pepper. Refrigerate overnight.
Place the London broil on a broiler pan or aluminum pan. Broil each side of your steak for 10-12 minutes for well-done. 7 - 10 for medium.
While the steak is broiling, add mushrooms, rice vinegar and miso paste into a heated pan. Covered for five minutes or until the mushrooms are soft and miso paste has melted. Turn to low heat until you the steak is ready.
Place steak on a plate - whole or sliced, glazed the top with the miso sauce top with the mushrooms.

Served on top of arugula salad. Or you can sliced it up
