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)
- 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.
