ROUND STEAK/BALSAMIC RASPBERRY SAUCE

Brrr it is not that great out today, but we at least have a promise of 80 degree weather for the weekend and I am loving that.  So since it is going to be a great weekend weather wise I have a wonderful recipe for you to do on the barby!  We love this recipe and I think you will too!

ROUND STEAK/BALSAMIC RASPBERRY SAUCE
Serves 4

1 - 2 1/2 to 3 pound round steak
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup red raspberry preserves ( I make my own)
2 cups fresh raspberries (now in season in the stores)
10 little fingerling potatoes
1 1/2 cups baby carrots
12 cippolini onions peeled
1 1/2 cups cup up butternut squash
Herbs de provence
Salt and pepper

Put the veggies into a baking dish in one layer.  Pour about 1/4 cup of olive oil over all.  Add the herbes de provence and salt and pepper and toss all together.  Put into a 400 degree oven for about 45 minutes.

While the veggies are cooking prepare the meat.
In a large plastic bag put the olive oil and red wine and salt and pepper.  Shake well.  Put in the steak and let it marinate on the counter for about 20 minutes.  Have your outside grill hot.

Put the balsamic vinegar into a small sauce pan with the preserves and put over low heat until reduced by half.  Set aside.

Put the steak on the grill over medium heat and grill until done med well.  Remove from the grill, cover with foil wrap and let set for about 10 minutes.

In the meantime, reheat the balsamic sauce, when warm add the berries and cook for just about 3 minutes.

Slice the meat into about 1/2 inch slices.  Transfer in a line to a large platter.  Spoon the sauce over the meat.  Surround the meat on both sides with the vegetables.

A dish fit for a King and super simple!  Mangia!
