A juicy and flavorful London broil recipe inspired by Alton Brown, perfect for a simple steak 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
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine soy sauce, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
  2. Place the London broil steak in a resealable plastic bag or a 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. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
  5. Place the steak on a broiler pan. Broil for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  6. Remove the steak from the broiler and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing.
  7. Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate the steak overnight.
  • Always slice against the grain to ensure a tender bite.
  • Serve with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
