Grilled London Broil

While I was planning for Saturday’s Date Nights and Dinner Parties here at The Slow Roasted Italian I decided to have London Broil.  A very nice lean cut of beef, when prepared properly it can be very impressive and delicious!

This same day I was on The Cafe Sucre Farine’s blog and ran across a post I had read a while back.  All about grilling London broil after “marinating” it in salt and a tight wrap.  It is amazing, the concept of the salt drawing out the juice and the tight plastic wrap forcing the juice back in.

Well, I was a little apprehensive after I read that the perfect London Broil is cooked to medium rare.  Anything more is over cooked.  I do have a tendency to try and massacre all my meat.  Consciously I don’t want to.  But something happens when self doubt creeps in during the cooking process.  I would end up with a very ‘brown’ piece of meat.  Kind of like eating shoe leather.

Recipe Notes

Well I have to tell you that this time was different.  I followed the recipe to a T and the Grilled London Broil was so amazing.  It was a perfect shade of grilled on the outside with delicious caramelized grill marks on the outside.  It was so lush and juicy.  A bit more cooked than medium rare, but unbelievable!

This grilled London Broil recipe is so versatile, it can be served with a myriad of sides.  I chose potatoes and a vegetable.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• ▢ 2 pounds bottom round steak, 2 to 2 1/2 pounds and 1 1/2 inches thick
• ▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

 

• Sprinkle both sides of steak evenly with salt; wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove steak from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling.
• About 20 minutes before grilling, ignite grill, turn all burners to high, close cover, and heat until very hot, about 15 minutes. Scrape cooking grate clean with grill brush.
• Unwrap steak. Brush both sides of steak with oil and sprinkle liberally with pepper.
• Place steak on hottest part of grill. Grill, flipping steak every 4 minutes, until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 120 degrees for rare to medium-rare, 16 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer steak to cutting board and let rest, tented with foil, about 10 minutes. Holding thin slicing knife at 45-degree angle to meat, slice very thinly and serve.

Donna’s Notes

If you prefer your meat well-done this probably isn’t the recipe for you. London broil tends to become tough and dry when cooked past medium rare.
