Peppery London Broil Marinade Food

" ANT" KELLY'S LONDON BROIL MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix all marinade ingredients together.
• Lightly score meat in a diamond pattern on each side.
• Place meat in a resealable bag. Pour in marinade. Squish meat and marinade around to get all the nooks and crannies.
• Marinate in refrigerator 2-3 hours or up to 24 hours, rotating occasionally. Can be frozen in the marinade too (see "For Camping" for how I do this).
• 20-30 minutes before cooking take meat out of the refrigerator to come up in temperature.
• Cook in the broiler or on the grill on high heat for 5-7 minutes per side depending on thickness and desired doneness. I have been asked about roasting temperatures, I have never done this, always grill or broil.
• **For camping - Place the fresh London broil and marinade in a zipperbag, squeeze out as much air as possible, seal, place inside a vacuum pack bag. Vacuum pack and freeze (I like to vacuum pack the zipper back to guard against leaks in the cooler). Put frozen in the camping cooler, after a day or two it is defrosted and can be cooked on the grill with minimal preparation and mess.**.

LONDON BROIL MARINADE

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, mix together garlic, salt, soy sauce, ketchup, vegetable oil, black pepper and oregano.
• 2. Score both sides of the meat, diamond cut, about 1/8 inch deep. Rub garlic mixture into both sides of the meat. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil, and refrigerate for 5 to 6 hours, or overnight. Flip meat every few hours.
• 3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• 4. Place meat on the prepared grill. Cook for 3 to 7 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.
• My Note: Since the title uses "London Broil" and the recipe uses "Flank Steak" I can see where there would be some confusion. I decided to use London Broil because it was on sale. This is definitely a thicker, tougher cut of meat and needs a longer marinating time 48 hours. I know that seems like a bit much but trust me it will pay off in the end. I used this marinade for 1 & 1/2 pounds of steak. I used kosher salt, low sodium soy sauce, olive oil vs. veg., chili sauce vs. ketchup, and added a splash of white wine vinegar. I put everything into a ziploc bag and let it go, turning it every so often and rubbing the marinade into the meat. After it's grilled to your liking cut against the grain and serve with a baked potato and fresh garden salad!
• Now, when London Broils are on sale, I buy several, make a big batch of this marinade, let them sit a day or two, then put them in individual freezer ziploc bags, with the marinade. Then, on a busy day, I can just pull out the pre-marinated steaks, defrost, grill, and enjoy! Great time and money saver, and so yummy!
• One time the meat didn't come out very tender so I added about 3 Tbls of lemon juice to act as a tenderizer. I also added about 2 tsp of worchestershire sauce.(we call it rooster sauce), 2 tsp of fish sauce, 1 tsp of ground ginger, chili sauce instead of ketchup and a tsp of garlic powder. I broiled this instead of grilling (due to the nasty weather) and it turned out really good.
• Using a london broil vs flank steak (as the recipe indicates) I added 2 tsp of lemon juice to assist in the tenderizing process, then marinated the meat for three days. Definitely more tender than a regular london broil using the marinade -- Next time I'll up the garlic and omit the oregano which overpowered the other flavors in the marinade. Will make again with modifications.

MARINATED LONDON BROIL

Steps:

• Mix shallots, soy sauce, olive oil, thyme, hot sauce and lemon juice together in a non-reactive broiling pan. Score the steak, place it in the pan and turn in the marinade. Marinate for at least 2 hours at room temperature or up to 24 hours refrigerated. If refrigerated, turn the steak in the marinade occasionally. Drain off marinade and put into a saucepan. Place steak under broiler at 1 inch from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for rare, for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium. Leave the broiler door slightly ajar, so the heat stays on and air circulates. Meanwhile bring marinade to the boil. Remove from heat. Carve the meat in thin diagonal slices across the grain. Arrange the slices on a warm platter. Pour the carving juices and the marinade over the meat. Decorate with cress.

Steps:

• Wipe the London Broil with a damp paper towel and pat it dry. Place the meat in a dish and cover it with a marinade prepared from the red wine and the garlic, and allow it to sit for 2 hours. Preheat the broiler. Place the remaining ingredients in a spice mill and process until they are coarse powder. Remove the London broil from the marinade, sprinkle it with the powder on all sides until it is well coated, place it in a broiler-proof pan and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until it is medium rare. Slice diagonally and serve.

HERB-MARINATED LONDON BROIL WITH GARLICKY GREENS

Steps:

• Pat the London broil dry with paper towels and set on a plate. Rub both sides of the meat with the vegetable oil, then season both sides generously with salt and black pepper, coating the surface evenly. Set aside to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. (The seasoned meat can also be transferred to a large resealable plastic bag and stored in the refrigerator overnight. Let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.)
• While the meat rests, add the parsley, rosemary, thyme, garlic, scallions, lemon zest and juice, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to a food processor. Pulse, stopping to scrape the sides as needed, until the herbs are finely chopped, about 10 times. Transfer the herb mixture to a small bowl and whisk in the olive oil. Set aside.
• Set a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until just starting to smoke, about 3 minutes. Add the steak and cook until seared on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip the steak and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the center of the steak registers between 120 and 125 degrees F, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the steak to a clean plate and spoon 1/2 cup of the herb oil over top. Set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.
• While the steak marinates, heat the broccoli rabe to the same cast-iron skillet over high heat. Cook, using tongs to toss the broccoli rabe, until it's vibrantly green and starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the kale and continue cooking and tossing until the kale is wilted and the broccoli rabe is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes more. Add 1/4 cup of the herb oil and toss to combine. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain. Transfer the steak to the skillet on top of the greens and spoon the remaining 1/4 cup of herb oil over the steak. Serve with lemon wedges.
