Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (2 – 2.5 lbs or 907 – 1134 g) London broil (top round, flank steak, or skirt steak)
- ¾ cup (180 ml) reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsps (10 ml) minced garlic
- 1 tsp (5 ml) minced fresh ginger
- 2 tsps (10 ml) brown sugar
Instructions
- Marinade Preparation: Whisk together soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar until sugar dissolves and mixture becomes smooth and well-integrated.
- Meat Marination: Transfer London broil into a sealable plastic bag, pour marinade over meat, ensuring complete coverage, remove air, seal, and refrigerate for 4-48 hours, occasionally rotating to distribute flavors evenly.
- Meat Preparation: Remove meat from marinade, discard liquid, pat dry with paper towels, and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to promote even cooking.
- Cooking Process: Grill over high direct heat for 4 minutes per side, then move to indirect heat, or broil in preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, rotating once midway through cooking until desired doneness is achieved.
- Serving: Allow meat to rest for 10 minutes, then slice diagonally across the grain into thin, elegant strips, presenting a tender and flavorful main course.
Notes
- Maximize Flavor Absorption: Marinate the meat for at least 4 hours, but no longer than 48 hours to prevent the acid from breaking down the protein’s texture.
- Ensure Precise Drying: Thoroughly pat the meat dry before cooking to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust and prevent steaming.
- Temperature Matters: Let the meat rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to guarantee even heat distribution and more consistent doneness.
- Slice Like a Pro: Always cut the London broil diagonally across the grain into thin strips to ensure maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
