Tender and Juicy London Broil Recipe

Introduction

London broil is a flavorful, budget-friendly cut of beef that becomes tender and juicy when marinated and cooked correctly. This recipe uses a simple marinade and broiling method to bring out the best in this classic steak.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds London broil round steak (1-2 inches thick)
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• ⅓ cup lemon juice
• ½ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Step 1: Prepare the steak marinade by combining soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt in a large gallon-sized resealable bag.
2. Step 2: Add the London broil round steak to the bag with the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
3. Step 3: Preheat your broiler to high. Remove the steak from the marinade and place it in a baking dish. Discard the used marinade.
4. Step 4: Broil the steak for 5 to 6 minutes, then carefully flip it over and broil for another 3 to 4 minutes. Cook until the internal temperature reaches about 135°F for medium-rare.
5. Step 5: Let the steak rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice thinly against the grain before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For a different flavor, substitute Italian seasoning with fresh rosemary and thyme.
• Marinate overnight to maximize tenderness and flavor penetration.
• Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.

FAQs

Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

Yes, flank steak or top round steak can be used as alternatives, though cooking times and marinating may need slight adjustments for tenderness.

How can I tell when the steak is cooked to medium-rare?

The ideal internal temperature for medium-rare is 135°F. Using a meat thermometer is the most accurate way to check doneness.

Marinade Ingredients

• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• ⅓ cup lemon juice
• ½ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt

Meat

• 2 pounds London broil round steak (1–2 inches thick)

Instructions

1. Mix the Marinade: In a large gallon-sized bag, combine ⅓ cup soy sauce, ⅓ cup lemon juice, ½ cup olive oil, ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt. Seal the bag and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
2. Marinate the Steak: Add the 2 pounds of London broil round steak to the marinade bag. Seal the bag and ensure the steak is fully coated with the marinade. Refrigerate and marinate for a minimum of 3 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor and tenderness.
3. Preheat the Broiler: About 10-15 minutes before cooking, preheat your oven’s broiler to HIGH heat to ensure a hot cooking environment for searing the steak.
4. Prepare to Broil: Remove the steak from the marinade and place it in a baking dish. Discard the leftover marinade to avoid contamination.
5. Broil the Steak: Place the baking dish under the broiler. Broil the steak for 5-6 minutes on one side until it develops a nice sear. Flip and broil the other side for 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
6. Rest and Serve: Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and juicy cut. Slice thinly against the grain and serve.

Notes

• Marinating overnight will produce a more tender and flavorful steak.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate internal temperature and desired doneness.
• Allowing the steak to rest after broiling helps retain its juices and improve texture.
• Slice against the grain to maximize tenderness.
• Adjust broiling time slightly depending on the thickness of the steak.
