The Best London Broil Recipe

Step 1

Pound steak with a meat mallet or side of a can to tenderize.

Step 2

Whisk marinade ingredients together in a freezer size Ziploc bag. Reserve 2 tablespoons to use later. Add steak, press out excess air and seal. Massage marinade into the steak with your hands through the outside of the bag.

Step 3

Marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours (the longer the better). Meanwhile make the herb butter (instructions to follow).

Step 4

When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and place it in a foil lined baking dish and let rest at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat broiler to high heat (550 degrees F) for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Broil steak 6 inches away from the boiler for 5-7 minutes per side (up to 8 minutes for extra thick steak), or until an internal thermometer reads 130-135 degrees F for medium rare or 140-145 degrees for medium. Broiling times WILL VARY depending on thickness of your steak so use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.

Step 6

Remove the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice steak into strips across the grain (perpendicular to the long strands). Drizzle with the 2 tablespoons reserved marinade and serve with herb butter.

Step 7

Meanwhile, make Herb Butter by mashing all of the Herb Butter ingredients together in a medium bowl until blended. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap and form into a log as your roll up the plastic wrap. Twist the ends of wrap to secure and place the butter in the refrigerator until firm (about 1 hour) or ready to use.
