Amazing!! – 1st time making a London Broil in the oven… always cook on the grill.
My steak was a little thick so it took about 18-20 min flipping the meat every 5-6 min.
I poured a little red wine over the top of the meat as it cooked… took it out at 125 degrees, let it sit for 10 min.. the ends were a little more well done.. the entire middle was PERFECTLY Medium – Medium rare!
This was just so tender, juicy and perfect. I will use this recipe every time! My husband complimented me on cooking the steak- wow! Keeping this recipe-Thank you!!
The flavor in this is so delicious, and it came out super tender! My only question is how do I get the steak to cook all the way through in the broiler? I had to keep cutting off the ends and putting it back 4 or 5 times to get it all to be pink, not red inside. We have an electric oven.
Made this today and it came out so delicious!! Thank you for sharing!
The flavor was the best thing ever! The meat wasn’t as tender as I would have liked though. I marinated overnight. Maybe it was just the cut. Fantastic taste though!
I wasn’t a great cook cause I’m alone , so I don’t have anyone in my life. So friend came over to have dinner so I’m hoping this comes out tender and good.
I just made this tonight, following the instructions almost exactly as written. Using a meat thermometer, I did have to double the time to get it to 130 degrees. The marinade infuses great flavor; I use a similar marinade for tri-tip and it definitely works well with the meat.
I bought this cut of meat because it was on sale in bulk at our local grocer, so I was unsure what to expect since I’d never had it before. My toddler devoured it, my husband found the cut to be tough. I think next time I’ll let it marinate a full 24 hours instead of the 5 hours I let it today. I could tell it was more tender than normal (I’m comparing it to my experiences with flank steak), but my gut says it would be better with more time.
Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks for Sharing, That’s Great.
Thanks for great information’s. Love to try this
I was very surprised I didn’t need a hack saw to cut this London Broil when done. Mine was 1.6 pounds and the only thing I didn’t add was salt to marinade. I marinated for 3 hrs in a zip lock and now and then massaged it and turned it in fridge. Broiled it on foil about 5” from flame to medium rare. Covered it to rest 20 minutes. Sliced thinly and it had a wonderful tasty aus jus from resting. I never made one in the oven only on the grill. This is a KEEPER! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ A tip is to serve on garlic toast with aus jus.
Made this last night for dinner. It was tender and delish. I usually have London broil on the charcoal grill but it turned out great in the broiler. My daughter liked that the outside wasn’t as ‘well done’ as the grill offers.
Wow. I needed to cook a larger London Broil because my family loved this. I did put the marinade in the pan while broiling and cooked it for about 10 minutes longer. The taste was wonderful and the meat juicy. It was so delicious and will be a regular here frofrom now on!
that looks so delicious, love to try this.
Cooking shortly. High or low broil
Broil on low or set your temperature at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Enjoy your London Broil!
That’s so delicious.
