Calories: 36kcal
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs London Broil
- 1 cup London Broil Marinade
- 2 tbsp Compound butter to serve
- Salt and pepper for garnish
Instructions
Marinate the London Broil
- Remove the London broil from the package and pat dry with paper towels.
- Place the meat in a gallon size resealable ziplock bag.
- Pour the marinade over the London broil and seal the bag, removing as much excess air as possible.
- When the bag is sealed, use your hands to make sure both sides of the beef has been coated with the marinade.
- Place in the fridge for 8 to 16 hours.
Preheat the Grill
- When ready to cook, preheat a grill for a two-zone fire. See notes for charcoal grills.
- Clean and oil the grill grates.
Grill the London Broil
- Remove the marinated London broil from the bag and place the beef on the grill grates on the cool side of the grill.
- Allow the meat to cook for 90 seconds, then, using long tongs, rotate the beef 90 degrees to create sear marks.
- After another 90 seconds, flip the meat and continue to cook it, rotating as needed for even cooking, until the London Broil reaches 120 degrees F with an instant read thermometer.
- If desired transfer the steak to the hot side of the grill and sear for another minute on both sides, adding more crust.
Rest and Serve
- Remove the steak from the grill. Top it with compound butter and tent loosely with foil.
- Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips to serve.
Notes
For a gas grill:
- Preheat the grill by igniting all the burners and allowing the grill to preheat. If you want to smoke on a gas grill, add a smoker box over the hot side of the grill with wood chips now. We love Jack Daniels Wood Chips for steaks.
- Clean and oil the grill grates.
- Close the lid of the grill and allow it to preheat for 10 minutes.
- Turn 2 of the 4 (or 2 of the 3 burners) off to create a 2 zone fire.
- Add the steak to the cooler side of the grill and follow the directions for grilling.
- Use a charcoal chimney to light charcoal. When it’s 70% ashed over, arrange the coals on one side of the grill to create a two-zone fire.
- Place the grill grates over the coals and clean them.
- Cover the grill with the lid and adjust the air vents to allow the grill to preheat to 375 - 400 degrees F.
- When the grill is holding an even temperature, add the London boil to the hot side of the grill.
- Allow the steak to cook for 90 seconds before rotating 90 degrees and grilling for another 90 seconds with the lid closed.
- Flip the steak and place it on the cooler side of the grill, cover the lid and allow the steak to cook until it reaches medium-rare to medium doneness, using an instant read thermometer.
