How to Make Berry Balsamic Marinade And Sauce

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup strawberry preserves, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon Splenda (or sugar substitute), 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 cup pitted cherries, and 1/2 cup blueberries.
  2. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Place your chosen meat (1.5 lbs London Broil, or similar amount of other cuts) in a large resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight for steak) and at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for chicken).
  5. Remove meat from marinade, reserving the marinade.
  6. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots to the reserved marinade in a small saucepan.
  7. Preheat your broiler or grill to medium-high heat.
  8. Broil or grill the meat to your desired doneness. (Note: Cooking times vary depending on the cut and thickness of the meat. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.)
  9. While the meat is cooking, bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  10. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter.
  11. If using London Broil, thinly slice against the grain after cooking.
  12. Add any juices from the cutting board to the sauce.
  13. Serve the meat generously drizzled with the delicious berry balsamic sauce.
  14. Serve with your favorite sides! Roasted vegetables would be a wonderful addition.
