About this recipe

Are you craving a juicy and flavorful steak that's perfect for grilling? Look no further than the classic Grilled London Broil! This popular cut of beef is known for its rich taste and tender texture. In this article, we'll explore the ins and outs of preparing and grilling a delicious London Broil that will impress your family and friends.

What is London Broil?

London Broil refers to a cooking method rather than a specific cut of beef. It's typically made using top round or flank steak, which are lean and full of flavor. The key to a mouthwatering London Broil lies in marinating the steak and cooking it to perfection on the grill.

Marinating the Steak

To enhance the tenderness and flavor of your London Broil, marinating is essential. A simple marinade made with ingredients like soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and herbs can work wonders. The marinade helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with delicious flavors. Allow the steak to marinate for at least a couple of hours or overnight for even better results.

Grilling Techniques

When it comes to grilling London Broil, there are a few techniques to keep in mind. First, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer.

Next, place the London Broil on the grill and cook it for about 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness. Remember to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 135째F (57째C).

Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Slice the London Broil against the grain, which helps to further enhance its tenderness.

Serving Suggestions

A Grilled London Broil pairs well with a variety of side dishes. Serve it with roasted vegetables, a fresh green salad, or a classic baked potato. You can also slice the steak and use it to make delicious sandwiches or wraps. The options are endless!

Conclusion

Grilling a London Broil is a fantastic way to enjoy a tender and flavorful steak. By marinating the meat and following proper grilling techniques, you can create a mouthwatering dish that will impress your taste buds and those of your loved ones. So, fire up the grill and get ready to indulge in a delicious Grilled London Broil!
