Ingredients
Scale
Marinade
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Main
- 2 pounds London broil (top round steak)
Instructions
- Make the Marinade: Whisk together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until well combined and smooth.
- Marinate the Steak: Place the London broil into a large resealable plastic bag or a covered dish. Pour the marinade over the steak ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to let the flavors deeply penetrate the meat.
- Prepare the Broiler: Set your oven broiler to high heat. Adjust the oven rack so it is positioned 4 to 6 inches below the broiler element. Line a baking sheet or broiler-safe pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Remove Excess Marinade: Take the steak out of the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the steak onto the prepared pan and discard the leftover marinade to avoid cross-contamination.
- Broil the Steak: Broil the steak for 5 to 6 minutes on one side, then carefully flip it over using tongs and broil for another 3 to 4 minutes. For medium-rare doneness, check that the internal temperature reaches approximately 130°F (54°C).
- Rest the Steak: Once broiled, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. This step allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat for maximum tenderness and flavor.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Serve immediately and enjoy your juicy and flavorful London Broil.
Notes
- Marinating overnight enhances the flavor and tenderness even more.
- Adjust broiling time depending on the thickness of your steak and desired doneness.
- Letting the steak rest is crucial for juicy results.
- Always slice against the grain to keep the meat tender.
