Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- 2 lbs London Broil
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best!)
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
Optional Substitutes:
- Swap lemon juice for balsamic vinegar for a richer flavor.
- If you don’t have Dijon mustard, use whole-grain mustard.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare The Marinade
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, black pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
- Transfer the flank steak to a shallow plate or a big resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Tip: For the best flavor, let the steak marinate for at least 4 hours in the fridge. Overnight marination is even better!
Step 2: Bring Steak To Room Temperature
- Take the steak out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.
Step 3: Cook The Steak
Broiling Method:
- Set the oven rack 4–6 inches away from the heat source and preheat your broiler to high.
- Place the marinated steak on a broiler pan or baking sheet lined with foil.
- Broil for 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.
Grilling Method:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- On the grill, cook the steak for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature is around 130°F for medium-rare.
Step 4: Rest And Slice
- After cooking, move the steak to a chopping board and give it ten minutes to rest.
- Slice thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Tips And Tricks
- For A Perfect Marinade: Make a little extra marinade to reserve (before adding the steak) for drizzling over the cooked meat.
- To Avoid Tough Meat: Always slice against the grain! This shortens the muscle fibers and keeps the meat tender.
- For Dietary Adjustments: Use gluten-free soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-friendly.
- Storing Leftovers: Store sliced steak in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water or beef broth to keep it moist.
Serving Suggestions
London Broil pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad. If you’re feeling indulgent, try it with garlic bread or creamy pasta for a hearty meal.
