Turn an inexpensive cut of meat into a juicy and delicious steak dinner! This London Broil recipe is easy to make and I provide you with two different cooking methods that produce great results. Marinating the meat is a must for flavor and to help tenderize the beef!
Place the beef in a large resealable plastic bag or in a shallow dish.
Add the marinade and seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Or pour the marinade over the steak and cover with plastic wrap.Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to 8 to 12 hours.
Broiler Method:
When ready to cook, preheat the broiler to high heat. Place the oven rack about 6-7 inches from the broiler heat source.
Remove the London broil roast from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the steak on a baking sheet lined with foil or in a baking dish.
Broil the steak for 5 - 6 minutes then, flip the meat and broil the other side for about 4 minutes or until the meat reaches your desired internal temperature. Broiling times will vary depending on the thickness of the meat and your oven.
Remove from the oven and let the meat rest, tented with aluminum foil for 5-10 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain.
Pan Sear and Oven Bake Method:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a cast iron skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and gently pat dry it with paper towels.
Place the steak in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side.
Place the skillet in the oven and cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness. See Tips below.
Remove from the oven and let the meat rest, tented with aluminum foil for 5 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain.

Notes
Remove the London broil from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you are ready to cook it.
It is best to cook London Broil Flank Steak to medium rare. Over cooked flank steak gets dry and chewy.
Internal Temperatures For Steak RARE: 120 - 125 degrees F MEDIUM RARE: 130 – 135 degrees F MEDIUM: 140 – 145 degrees F MEDIUM WELL: 150 – 155 degrees F WELL DONE: 160 degrees F and above
