Grilled London Broil Recipe

This Grilled London Broil is juicy and flavorful and cooks in just a matter of minutes. Making shallow cuts on each side of the meat helps it cook up just right and lets the flavor of the marinade really get into the meat.

If it isn’t already, London Broil should be a part of your regular dinner rotation. It’s an inexpensive cut of meat that can feed a large family and it’s super easy to cook. The only problem with cooking London Broil is that if you’re not careful, you’ll end up with dry, chewy, bland meat that is an unappetizing grey color.

But no worries thanks to Cook’s Country.

This recipe from Cook’s Country helps ensure juicy, flavorful steak that’s cooked just right. For the flavor, the steak is marinated for 2 hours in soy sauce, garlic, ketchup, balsamic vinegar, and a bunch of herbs.

The marinating takes place at room temperature. Not only does marinating at room temperature shorten the marination time, bringing the meat to room temperature before grilling helps to cook it more evenly.

The meat is crosshatched (shallow cuts done diagonally in each direction) on both sides. This not only helps the meat absorb more flavor, but helps the inside cook before the outside overcooks and develops that unsightly grey appearance.

The London Broil stays on the grill for just a short time since it should be served medium rare for tenderness. The meat is flipped over every minute to ensure it cooks evenly.

You won’t taste more flavorful London Broil than this!

Serve with steak sauce or even better, horseradish sauce, for a special, but economical family supper.
