Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 2.5 London broil (top round or flank steak)
- ⅓ cup (79 mL / 2.7 fl oz) olive oil
- ¼ cup (60 mL / 2 fl oz) soy sauce
- 2 tbsps (30 mL / 1 fl oz) balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsps (30 mL / 1 fl oz) Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsps (30 mL / 1 fl oz) lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (15 g) brown sugar
- 1 tsp (5 g) Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Marinade Preparation: Whisk olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire, lemon juice, minced garlic, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and onion powder in a medium bowl until thoroughly blended.
- Marinating Process: Submerge London broil completely in the prepared marinade within a large resealable plastic bag or shallow container. Refrigerate for 4-8 hours to allow deep flavor infusion.
- Grilling Preparation: Remove marinated steak from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat grill to medium-high heat at 400-450°F, creating optimal searing conditions.
- Grilling Technique: Position London broil on preheated grill grates, cooking 5-7 minutes per side to achieve medium-rare doneness. Monitor internal temperature, aiming for 130-135°F for ideal tenderness.
- Resting and Slicing: Transfer grilled steak to a cutting board, letting it rest undisturbed for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain using a sharp knife to maximize meat’s texture and juiciness.
- Serving Recommendation: Arrange sliced London broil on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and pair with roasted seasonal vegetables, herb-infused potatoes, or a crisp garden salad for a complete dining experience.
Notes
- Marinate Strategically: Ensure complete meat coverage by gently massaging marinade into the London broil, preventing dry spots and maximizing flavor absorption.
- Temper Meat Carefully: Letting the steak rest at room temperature before grilling prevents uneven cooking and guarantees a more uniform internal temperature.
- Slice Precisely: Cut against the meat’s grain at a 45-degree angle using a razor-sharp knife to create tender, melt-in-your-mouth slices that enhance eating experience.
- Customize Doneness Wisely: Adjust grilling time based on meat thickness and preferred doneness, using a reliable meat thermometer to achieve consistent results without overcooking.
