Ingredients
London broil beef
2 1/2 lbs (scored)
Olive oil
1/2 cup (none)
Low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup (none)
Honey
1/4 cup (none)
Fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons (chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried))
Black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons (coarse ground)
Salt
1 teaspoon (none)
Garlic cloves
6 (minced)
Instructions
1
Begin by scoring the London broil on both sides with shallow, diagonal cuts about 1/4-inch deep, spaced 1 inch apart to create a diamond pattern. This helps the marinade penetrate the meat.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, low sodium soy sauce, honey, chopped fresh rosemary (or dried), black pepper, salt, and minced garlic until well combined.
3
Place the scored meat into a large, shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the meat is thoroughly coated by tossing it gently.
4
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the zip-top bag, and refrigerate the marinated meat for several hours or, preferably, overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
5
Thirty minutes before grilling, remove the marinated London broil from the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature.
6
Preheat your grill to medium-hot or set your oven to the broil setting.
7
Remove the meat from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and set aside the marinade for basting.
8
Grill or broil the meat for approximately 10 minutes on each side for medium-rare, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade for added flavor.
9
Once cooked to your desired level of doneness, transfer the steak to a carving board and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
10
Slice the London broil against the grain into thin strips and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
