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

Step 1: Prepare the steak marinade by combining soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt in a large gallon-sized resealable bag.
Step 2: Add the London broil round steak to the bag with the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate, marinating for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight for best flavor.
Step 3: Preheat your broiler to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and place it in a baking dish. Discard the marinade.
Step 4: Broil the steak for 5 to 6 minutes on one side. Then flip the steak and broil for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
Step 5: Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. Serve and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

For extra tenderness, marinate the steak overnight to fully absorb the flavors.
You can substitute Italian seasoning with fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme for a different aromatic profile.
If you prefer your steak more well done, adjust the broiling time accordingly, but be careful not to overcook to keep it juicy.

Storage

Store any leftover London broil in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or in a skillet over low heat to prevent drying out. The steak also slices beautifully for sandwiches or salads the next day.

FAQs

Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

Yes, you can use flank steak or skirt steak as alternatives, which also respond well to marinating and broiling, though cooking times may vary slightly.

How can I tell when the steak is done without a thermometer?

You can use the touch test by comparing the firmness of the steak to different parts of your hand, but using a meat thermometer is the most reliable way to achieve perfect doneness.

Marinade Ingredients

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

Main Ingredient

2 pounds London broil round steak (1–2 inches thick)

Instructions

Mix the marinade: In a large gallon-size resealable 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 shake gently to mix everything evenly.
Marinate the steak: Add the 2 pounds London broil round steak to the bag containing the marinade. Seal the bag securely and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor penetration.
Preheat the broiler: When ready to cook, preheat your oven’s broiler to HIGH heat to ensure the steak cooks quickly and evenly.
Prepare the steak for broiling: Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place it in a baking dish. Discard the remaining marinade to avoid contamination.
Broil the steak: Place the baking dish under the broiler. Broil the steak for 5 to 6 minutes on one side. Using tongs, carefully flip the steak over and broil for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare doneness.
Rest and serve: Remove the steak from the broiler and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy slice. Slice against the grain and serve.

Notes

Marinating overnight intensifies the flavor and tenderizes the meat.
Adjust broiling time based on the thickness of your steak and preferred doneness.
Always slice the steak against the grain to maximize tenderness.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness and avoid overcooking.
Worcestershire sauce adds a depth of umami flavor complementary to the soy and lemon juice.
