Ingredients
- 1.75 lbs London broil (flank steak or top round)
- 0.25 cup olive oil (60ml)
- 0.25 cup tamari or soy sauce (60ml)
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar (30ml)
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano) (10g)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Herb Marinade: Whisk together 0.25 cup olive oil (60ml), 0.25 cup tamari or soy sauce (60ml), 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar (30ml), 3 cloves minced garlic, 2 Tbsp chopped fresh herbs (10g), 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper in a medium bowl until well combined and fragrant.
- Marinate London Broil: Place the London broil (1.5-2 lbs or 680-900g) in a shallow dish or a sturdy zip-top bag. Pour the herb marinade over the beef, ensuring it is fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum tenderness and deep flavor.
- Preheat Grill Or Broiler: For grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high (400-450°F or 200-230°C) until hot. For broiling, set an oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
- Cook London Broil: Remove steak from marinade (discard marinade). Grill for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp 130-135°F or 54-57°C) or broil for 5-7 minutes per side, flipping once, until nicely seared with a browned crust. (If browning too quickly, move it to a cooler part of the grill or lower the oven rack slightly to prevent charring.)
- Rest And Slice: Transfer the cooked London broil to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes; this allows the juices to redistribute for a wonderfully tender result. Slice thinly against the grain.
Notes
Prep the savory herb marinade the night before for a quick dinner. Use a reliable meat thermometer for perfectly cooked London Broil, ensuring tender results every time. For a touch of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Using low-sodium tamari offers a healthier twist. Inexpensive dried herbs are a perfectly affordable and convenient substitution when fresh ones aren’t available. Feel free to swap red wine vinegar for balsamic or apple cider vinegar if that is what is in your pantry.
