What is London Broil?
London broil is traditionally made from flank steak or top round steak that is marinated, grilled or broiled quickly at high heat, then sliced against the grain. This method allows the meat to remain tender while taking on incredible flavors from the marinade. The result is a juicy piece of meat that’s perfect for any occasion.
Easy Marinade Recipes for London Broil
A key component of a great London broil is the marinade. An easy option includes soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and brown sugar mixed together to create a sweet-savory blend that penetrates the meat beautifully. Allow the steak to marinate in this mixture for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor. You can also experiment with other ingredients such as balsamic vinegar or Worcestershire sauce based on your taste preferences.
Grilling Your London Broil: Step-by-Step Guide
Grilling your London broil enhances its rich flavor profile. Start by preheating your grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade (discard any leftover marinade), and place it on the grill grates. Grill each side for about 5-7 minutes depending on your desired doneness—medium-rare typically reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C). Once done grilling, let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing; this helps retain those delicious juices.
Broiling Option: For Indoor Cooking
If you prefer cooking indoors or if outdoor grilling isn’t possible, using the oven’s broiler works just as well. Preheat your broiler and place an oven-safe pan in position so it gets hot too. After marinating and removing excess liquid from your steak, place it in the hot pan under the broiler. Cook similarly by flipping after about 5-7 minutes until you’ve reached that perfect doneness.
Serving Suggestions: Side Dishes That Pair Well with London Broil
To complement your deliciously cooked London broil, consider serving sides like roasted vegetables—such as asparagus or Brussels sprouts—or creamy mashed potatoes seasoned with garlic and herbs. A fresh salad drizzled with vinaigrette adds brightness to balance out rich flavors too. Don’t forget to slice against the grain when serving; this keeps each bite tender and easier to chew.
With these easy recipes at hand, elevating your dinner has never been simpler. Whether you choose to grill or use a broiler for convenience inside your kitchen doesn’t lessen its charm; you’ll have impressively tasty meals ready in no time at all. Enjoy experimenting with different marinades and sides that cater specifically towards yours—and loved ones’—palates.
