Recipes for an Old Fashion Meal of Oriental Flank Steak, Buffet Carrot Casserole, and a Bean Salad

There are times that just seem to call for some old fashion comfort food to remind us of days past.  Remember the delicious meals your grandmother, aunts, mother, etc so often served?  The following are recipes from my vintage recipe files that are sure in invoke memories of some great meals and family times.  The entree is a Flank Steak that is easy to prepare.  This steak needs to marinate either all day or overnight.  Add the Buffet Carrot Casserole and an old fashion Bean Salad for a truly enjoyable meal.  The bean salad is best when made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight.

ORIENTAL FLANK STEAK

1 flank steak, approximately 1 1/2 lbs
3/4 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
3 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 cup green onion slices
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp ground ginger

Score steak on both sides with a sharp knife. Mix all ingredients, except steak, in a small bowl; pour over steak. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator 7 or 8 hours or overnight; turning once. To cook steak, remove from marinade and place on a broiler pan or grill that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Broil or grill over hot coals for approximately 20 minutes or until of desired doneness. Brush with barbecue sauce about half way thru the cooking time. To serve steak, carve across the grain into thin slices.

BUFFET CARROT CASSEROLE

12 carrots, cleaned and sliced diagonally
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter
1/4 tsp tsp dry mustard
1/8 tsp celery salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 lb sliced American cheese
3 cups bread crumbs
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp salt
2 cups milk

In a large saucepan or large deep skillet, melt the butter, add the onion and cook until transparent. Stir in the flour, salt, and mustard. Slowly stir in the milk while stirring constantly. Cook until smooth. Add the celery salt and pepper. Stir in the sliced carrots. Grease a baking dish and make alternate layers of the carrots and the cheese. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top of the casserole. Bake in a 350 degree oven until until the crumbs are browned, about 25 minutes.

GIGI'S OLD FASHION BEAN SALAD
 
2/3 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 can wax beans
1 can cut green beans
1 can lima beans
1 can red kidney beans
1 medium onion
1 green bell pepper
1/3 cup salad oil
1/2 tsp pepper

In a saucepan heat the vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar is melted. Drain the wax beans, green beans, and lima beans. Rinse and drain the kidney beans. Dice the onion and the bell pepper. Combine the beans, onion, and bell pepper in a medium bowl. Add the vinegar mixture, salad oil, and pepper. Toss together well to coat all the beans and vegetables. Refrigerate overnight for the best results.

Enjoy!
