London broil

This recipe needs advance preparation!

London broil is a North American beef dish made by grilling marinated flank steak, then cutting it against the grain into thin strips.

The name generally refers to the marination method rather than the cut of beef.

This recipe can also be cooked on a barbecue.

Please ensure that you rest the meat for at least 10 minutes before serving. It won't go cold and this method ensures a tender steak that is not too bloody.
