London Broil

London broil is not a cut of beef, but instead a way to prepare it. London broil is usually made with a top round steak, but can also be done with flank steak, or sirloin steak. The secret to a great London broil recipe is a flavorful marinade and being sliced thinly against the grain.

Yields1 Serving
Prep Time15 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time30 mins
 2 lbs Boneless Flank or Sirloin Steak , about two inches thick
 ¼ cup Balsamic vinegar
 2 tbsp Olive oil
 4 Cloves crushed garlic
 1 tsp Dried rosemary
 1 tbsp Freshly ground black pepper
 Salt as needed
TO MARINATE:
1

In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, oil, garlic, and rosemary. Place the beef on a plate and poke both sides all over with a fork. Transfer to a plastic freezer bag and pour in the marinade. Seal and refrigerate overnight or marinate at least 2-3 hours per inch of steak.

TO COOK:
2

Turn broiler or grill on high.

3

Remove the London broil from the marinade and pat dry. Salt generously, and rub in the freshly ground black pepper, on both sides. Place on a broiler pan, or other oven-safe pan or on grill.

4

Broil about 8 inches under the flame or on grill for approximately 6-7 minutes per side for medium rare - internal temp of 130 degrees F.

5

Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil; let rest for 5-10 minutes. Thinner cuts should rest for 5 minutes and whole roasts 10 minutes. Resting allows the meat to relax and the juices to flow.

TO SERVE:
6

Cut against the grain into very thin slices. Serve hot, topped with any juices from the plate on which it rested.
