Ingredients

Marinade

For The London Broil

  • 1 London Broil (flank steak) about 1 1/2 pounds
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Make The Marinade

  • In a small bowl, whisk the marinade ingredients.

Marinate

  • 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
