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.
