Ingredients
For the London Broil
- 1.5 lbs London Broil (flank steak or top round)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Your Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and fresh rosemary until well combined to create a fragrant marinade.
- Marinate Your Beef: Place the London Broil in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the meat. Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
- Preheat Your Grill: About 30 minutes before cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure it is hot enough for searing the meat properly.
- Grill to Perfection: Remove the beef from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, aiming for medium-rare doneness, with an internal temperature of approximately 130°F. Adjust time if you prefer your steak more or less cooked.
- Rest Before Slicing: Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, ensuring a moist and tender bite. Slice the beef thinly against the grain into strips to maximize tenderness.
Notes
- For best flavor, marinate the London Broil overnight.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise cooking temperature.
- Slicing against the grain is key to tender pieces of meat.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can broil the steak in the oven under the broiler close to the heat source for similar results.
- Leftover steak makes excellent sandwiches or salads.
