This flavor-packed London Broil recipe combines an easy tenderizing marinade with easy tips and hints on cooking this less expensive cut of beef. Prepare to have your taste buds tantalized and your pocketbook eased. With the cost of beef constantly rising, this is one of my family’s favorite recipes. The London Broil (top round steak) is a less expensive cut of meat than most steaks. However, it does need a little more attention using a meat mallet and a simple eight-ingredient marinade. For a super tender result, follow my recipe exactly!

How To Make london broil

  • 1
    Pound the steak on both sides with the ridged side of a meat mallet.
  • 2
    In a large zipper plastic bag, mix the garlic, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, brown sugar, thyme, oregano, fresh ground black pepper, and kosher salt. Add the steak; seal and refrigerate for 12-24 hours, turning several times.
  • 3
    Remove the steak from the bag, discarding the marinade. Thoroughly dry with paper towels. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and place a heavy skillet bottom down on it to weigh it down and sear it. Cook for about 6-7 minutes. Keep an eye on the steak. If it is cooking too fast, reduce the heat. Flip and sear the other side for about 5 minutes, placing the skillet on it.

    Remove to a cutting board. Cover with a loose aluminum tent; let rest for 10 minutes. Using a sharp knife, slice thinly against the grain. Serve promptly.
