By Robert Palmer

Are you tired of cooking the same old cuts of beef and looking to try something new? Look no further than a London Broil cut!

This lean cut of beef is delicious, versatile, and easy to prepare. In this article, we’ll explore all the delicious ways you can cook and serve a London Broil.

What is a London Broil?

First things first, what exactly is a London Broil? Contrary to popular belief, London Broil is not actually a specific cut of beef. Instead, it refers to a method of preparation that involves marinating and then broiling or grilling a lean cut of beef such as flank steak or top round steak.

How to Cook a London Broil

Now that we know what London Broil is, let’s dive into how to cook it. The key to cooking a tender and flavorful London Broil is in the marinade. Here’s an easy marinade recipe you can use:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Simply mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and pour over your London Broil in a large resealable plastic bag. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor).

When you’re ready to cook your London Broil, preheat your grill or broiler on high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels (this will help it get that nice crispy crust).

Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare (or until it reaches your desired level of doneness). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain.

Ways to Serve a London Broil

Now that you’ve cooked your delicious London Broil, how should you serve it? Here are some ideas:

  • Slice it thin and serve it over a bed of greens for a delicious salad.
  • Make tacos or fajitas with sliced London Broil, sautéed onions and peppers, and all your favorite toppings.
  • Serve it up with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes for a classic dinner.
