London Broil Recipe

Equipment
- Grill or broiler
- Mixing bowl
- Ziplock bag or marinating container
- Meat thermometer (optional)
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of beef (flank steak or top round)
- ½ cup of soy sauce
- ¼ cup of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
- Marinate the Beef: Place the beef in a ziplock bag or marinating container and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the meat is fully coated. Seal the bag or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Preheat the Grill or Broiler: Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
- Cook the Beef: Remove the beef from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Grill or broil the beef for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
- Rest and Serve: Once cooked to your liking, transfer the beef to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice the beef thinly against the grain and serve hot.
