So I just got back from a car trip… 6 hours in the car by myself and all I could think of was what I was going to make tonight and I wondered if my new Falksalt was in the mail. Well, half way home, I knew I wanted to try to make my own crispy tostadas out of tortillas, because if they can do that on Chopped(the TV show), so could I! I was not in the mood for ground beef, so I went fajita style for the topping and the cilantro lime cream sauce was just what I needed after this long trip! Oh and my salt was not in the mail, but don’t worry! I will be telling you all about Falksalt very soon, I can’t wait!

I love steak, yes I do! That’s the only thing that’s keeping me from being a full on vegetarian. Alas, steak always gets in the way. I love it covered, smothered, sliced, diced or just plain in all it’s glory. I had to laugh when the doctor told me my iron was low because it was not for lack of red meat! London Broil is one of my favorite cuts as it is so versatile. You can cut this for dinner, or for sandwiches and use it in tacos. You name it, this cut can do it. Tonight, I used a marinade and my chimichurri sauce. This sauce took it over the top but the marinade was spot on so fire up the grill!

So tonight my husband said, “Baby when are we going to have steaks again?” with his little sad face acting like it’s been years. It’s actually been a week. Nonetheless, I gave in and wrangled up some steaks. My daughter will not touch anything made of red meat these days without blue cheese so this was a must but I wanted mushrooms so I went all out and made both. Here is what you will need for both.
