Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs london broil roast top round, top sirloin, coulotte, or flank steak
  • 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoon chopped garlic

Instructions
 

  • Remove the London broil from the packaging and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Use a fork to pierce the roast. This will allow the marinade to penetrate and add flavor to the beef.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and Worcestershire to a small bowl. Whisk together to combine the marinade.
  • Place the beef in a ziploc bag or container.
  • Add the marinade to the bag and seal. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to marinate. Overnight is best.
  • Remove the London broil from the refrigerator half an hour before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
  • Remove the London broil from the marinade allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
  • Place the beef on a wire rack and pat it dry on all sides with a paper towel.
  • Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Add the salt, black pepper, fresh thyme, and garlic to a small bowl. Stir together to combine the seasoning mixture.
  • Spread the seasoning mixture on both sides of the meat.
  • Place an oven rack on the highest shelf of the oven and preheat your oven to 500 degrees (or broil).
  • When your oven is preheated, place the London broil on the top rack and cook for 7 minutes.
  • After 7 minutes flip the beef to the other side and cook for an additional 7 minutes.
  • London broil is best cooked to a medium-rare temperature of 125 degrees. The more well-done it cooks the tougher it will become.
    If you desire a more well-done steak, cook it to your desired temperature. Keep in mind the beef will continue to cook and rise 4-7 degrees while it's resting.
  • Tent the beef with aluminum foil and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing to allow time for the juices to redistribute.
  • Slice the roast against the grain into ¼-inch thick slices. Serve with your favorite vegetables and compound butter (or melted butter).
