Can't afford to take the private jet to London?

Neither can I. But I can afford flank steak on sale. Ralph's was selling it as "London Broil" which when cut right (on the bias) or cooked long enough can be tender and taste good! Serve this thick soup in your fancy pasta bowls over mashed potatoes for a twist on shepherd's pie.

Shepherd's Pie for the Out-of-work Executive
(5 Large Servings - 5 WW Points each)
1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fraction of a Frozen Steak
1/2 Onion, Chopped
3-4 Garlic Cloves, Minced
2 Cans Beef Broth
1 Can Corn (Undrained)
1 Can Rotel Tomatoes (Undrained)
2 Cups Frozen Hash Brown Potatoes
Pepper to Taste


Thinly slice as much as possible (approximately 1/8 of total) from frozen steaks. Chop slices into 1/2 inch pieces.

Heat oil in a dutch oven. Add onions, garlic and meat slices. Stir occasionally until meat is browned (and onions are not).

Add beef broth, followed by all other ingredients. Cook until potatoes are hot, or longer if you have the time and the willpower.
