It has been a long hot-hot summer here in Florida, and it is not over yet. After listening to a couple of our local weathermen this morning, we learned that there are some tornadoes and hurricane Idalia headed our way for Tuesday and Wednesday. Therefore, shore up those houses, store away the patio furniture, and if you are a container gardener like me, group those container plants together in a circle as much as possible with the smaller ones in the center of the group.
Enough of the weather, and on to the recipe!
You all know how I cannot let a recipe be if I can update it or converse it in some way to make it easier or tastier. Well today’s recipe is one that I posted before, the simple London Broil recipe that I found on the web many years ago has gone through a couple updates since I found it. As you know with the original recipe the sauce seeps out over the foil into the casserole dish, then there is not much to cover the other ingredients and it leaves a sticky mess beneath the foil.
Well I cannot stop the sauce from seeping over the foil but I have solved the problem of the lack of sauce. Below is my roaster oven update for the best London broil recipe ever.

LONDON BROIL EVELYN'S STYLE UPDATE
Equipment: Roaster Oven, 4 qt casserole dish, 1 qt glass measuring cup and heavy-duty aluminum foil
