Spinach Mushroom Risotto with Red Wine Steak
Spinach Mushroom Risotto with Red Wine Steak
One of the secrets to a delicious London Broil is the marinade and this easy red wine marinade is perfect for tenderizing London Broil and other tough cuts of beef, such as skirt steak. Making this an inexpensive dinner for any night of the week. Personally I find it hard to eat my veggies so I've gotten into the habit of hiding my veggies in delicious meals I love, like risotto. I chop the mushrooms and spinach super small and hardly notice them, which could be the perfect way to get those kids to eat this meal too! Plus who doesn't love some cheesy rice?!
