Marinated London Broil

FFG made this a few weeks ago. I went to the grocery and they had a London Broil for $3, so it seemed that I must make this too. D actually made it. He said it was easy to make. It was really good. We had with Broccoli with red pepper flakes and garlic.

Marinated London Broil

I think every mom in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s had some version of this dish, but it taught me how to take a less-expensive, tougher cut of meat and make it delicious, says David Bonom.


1/2 cup chopped shallots
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (2-pound) boneless top round steak, trimmed
Cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Pierce steak with a fork. Add steak to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 2 hours, turning every 30 minutes.

2. Preheat broiler.

3. Remove steak from bag; discard marinade. Scrape shallots and garlic from steak; discard shallots and garlic. Place steak on broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle steak evenly with salt and pepper. Broil 4 inches from heat for 6 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
