RECIPE - Black and Blue London Broil

I am new to the world of making London Broil, honestly it makes me nervous to cook for some reason.  Give me a chicken or ground meat to deal with anyday, but a large piece of meat like London Broil gets me scared.  Maybe because I don't want to ruin it and have it cost me a fortune.  What can I say?  My Mother passed on that bargain shopping gene, just can't justify wasting money!

This turned out great though, it was tender and tasted like something in a restaurant, plus very easy to do.  Totally worth doing again!  Served along with mashed potatoes and some carrots, it was wonderful.

1 London Broil
2 cloves of garlic
Garlic powder
salt
pepper (prefer cracked)
blue cheese crumbled
oil

Heat oven to 425 F.  Heat up a non-stick skillet with about 2 tbsp oil to medium high heat.  Take your meat out and slice your garlic up.  Make some shallow slits in your meat and insert garlic pieces in various spots (do both sides).  Coat each side with garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Once skillet is hot add the meat and brown for 5 minutes on each side.  Remove and transfer to a cooking sheet and put in oven for 30-35 minutes.  Meat thermometer has to be at least 145 to be done, cook to desired redness.  Remove from oven and let rest for about 15 minutes.  While resting, sprinkle a generous amount of crumbled blue cheese down the middle to melt.  Slice into thin slices and serve.
