There’s nothing quite like a juicy and flavorful London broil steak. If you’re craving a delicious and satisfying meal and you’re not a vegetarian, it covers all your bases. However, prepping one is a lot easier said than done. If you’re looking for a basic step-by-step guide for how to make a delicious London broil steak, pay close attention.

What You’ll Need

To start, let’s gather our ingredients and tools. You’ll need a London broil steak, a marinade of your choice (think bold flavors like garlic, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce), salt, pepper, and a hot grill or oven broiler.

The Marinade

First, take your London broil steak and score it on both sides with shallow cuts. This helps the marinade penetrate the meat and infuse it with flavor. Next, place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour your marinade over it. Make sure the steak is fully coated and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate it overnight.

Grilling to Perfection

Preheat your grill or oven broiler to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and season it generously with salt and pepper. Place the steak on the grill or under the broiler and cook it for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired doneness. Enjoy!
