Ingredients
-
2 lbs top round steak (London broil)
-
1/4 cup olive oil
-
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
-
2 tbsp soy sauce
-
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
-
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
-
4 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tbsp brown sugar
-
1 tsp smoked paprika
-
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, brown sugar, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes.
-
Marinate the steak: Place the London broil in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it’s well coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
-
Preheat the grill: Remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature while you preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F to 500°F).
-
Grill the steak: Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
-
Rest the meat: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to lock in the juices.
-
Slice and serve: Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
-
Don’t skip resting the steak after grilling—it helps keep the meat juicy.
-
Great with grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
-
For extra tenderness, score the meat lightly before marinating.
