Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Zip-top Bag
- Broiler Pan
- Foil-lined Baking Sheet
- Meat Thermometer
- Cutting board
Ingredients
For the Marinade
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
For the Steak
- 2 lb London broil top round or flank steak
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Place the steak in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, ensuring the steak is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 12 hours for best results).
- Remove the steak from the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven's broiler to high heat and place the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
- Remove excess marinade by patting the steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Place the steak on a broiler pan or a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130°F). If you prefer it more well-done, add 1-2 extra minutes per side.
- Once done, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. This step locks in the juices! Then, slice thinly against the grain for the most tender bites.
