Ingredients
- 2 pounds London broil round steak (1–2 inches thick)
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large gallon-sized resealable bag, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt. Mix well.
- Marinate the Steak: Place the London broil into the bag with the marinade. Seal tightly, ensuring the steak is well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the Broiler: Set your oven broiler to HIGH. Remove the steak from the marinade and place it in a baking dish. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Broil the Steak: Broil for 5–6 minutes on one side, then flip the steak and broil for another 3–4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
- Rest and Slice: Let the steak rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice thinly against the grain and serve.
Notes
Serve your Tender and Juicy London Broil fresh from the oven, sliced thinly against the grain to keep it tender. Pair it with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, grilled corn, or a crisp Caesar salad for a complete meal. A drizzle of the resting juices enhances the steak’s flavor beautifully. For a special touch, top it with herb butter or serve with a side of chimichurri sauce.
To store, let leftovers cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use a skillet over low heat with a splash of broth or butter to maintain tenderness. For longer storage, freeze in freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
