Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Marinade

  • 2 pounds London broil round steak (12 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

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large gallon-sized bag, combine 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, and ½ teaspoon salt. Seal the bag and mix thoroughly to blend the flavors.
  2. Marinate the Steak: Add the 2-pound London broil round steak to the marinade bag. Seal the bag securely, removing as much air as possible. Refrigerate and marinate for a minimum of 3 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the meat to absorb the rich flavors and tenderize.
  3. Preheat the Broiler: About 10 minutes before cooking, preheat your oven broiler to HIGH heat to ensure a quick, intense cooking environment that will sear the steak.
  4. Prepare for Broiling: Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place it on a baking dish or broiler pan. Discard the used marinade to avoid contamination.
  5. Broil the Steak: Position the steak under the broiler and cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side. Then, flip the steak and broil for an additional 3-4 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare doneness.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This step allows juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness and flavor. Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
  • Do not skip the resting step to ensure juicy meat.
  • Adjust broiling time slightly depending on steak thickness and desired doneness.
  • Use a meat thermometer for accurate cooking temperature.
  • Slice the steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.
