Ingredients
Scale
1 (2-pound) London broil steak
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Place the London broil steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 6 hours.
Preheat your broiler to high.
Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the steak on a broiler pan.
Broil the steak for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).
Remove the steak from the broiler and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Notes
For best results, marinate the steak for at least 2 hours.
Slicing against the grain is crucial for a tender London broil. Look for the direction of the muscle fibers and cut perpendicular to them.
