Master the art of making perfectly broiled London Broil with this easy recipe. Learn how to prepare and cook this flavourful dish with simple steps.
Equipment
- Oven grill/broiler
- Broiler pan or wire rack
- Baking sheet
- Cutting board
- Bowl
- Whisk
- Foil
- Paper towels
- Meat thermometer optional
Ingredients
- 500 g flank steak London broil
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Marinate magic: Whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper in a bowl. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and submerge it in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavour.
- Broil brilliance: Preheat your oven grill/broiler and position the rack near the top. Remove the steak from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Season generously with salt. Place the steak on a broiler pan or wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- Searing success: Broil the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 57°C (135°F) for medium-rare, 63°C (145°F) for medium.
- Rest and reward: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum flavour and tenderness.
