A juicy and flavorful London broil recipe inspired by Alton Brown, perfect for a summer dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (2-3 pound) London broil steak
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Place the London broil steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat your broiler to high.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the steak on a broiler pan.
  5. Broil the steak for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for accuracy.
  6. Remove the steak from the broiler and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  7. Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Notes

  • For an even deeper flavor, you can add a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to the marinade.
  • Serve with your favorite side dishes like roasted potatoes or a fresh salad.
  • Consider this recipe as part of your meal planning for an impressive yet easy steak dinner.
