Seasoned London Broil Food

EASY STUFFED LONDON BROIL

Steps:

• Trim any excess fat and sinew from your flank steak. Rinse and pat dry with paper towel.
• At your workstation or on a cutting board, butterfly your flank steak by slicing horizontally, almost through the middle of the narrow side of it. Open like a book, and unfold the flank steak to make a rectangle-ish shape. It should be around 1/2 of an inch thick.
• Place a sheet of plastic wrap over your butterflied flank steak and pound lightly with a meat mallet until it is even or uniform thickness. Set aside.
• In a large bowl combine ground pork, veal or beef, salt and pepper. If using onion and garlic, add it now to the ground meat. Just use your hands to mix. Continue mixing until well blended. Set aside.
• Place flank steak back at your work station. Form ground pork mixture into a roll the same length as the flank steak; between 2 and 3 inches in diameter.
• Place your roll on the bottom 1/3 of the flank steak, from one end to the other.
• Starting at the bottom end, roll your flank steak around the ground pork mixture as tight as you can, while making sure the ground pork mixture keeps its log-like shape.
• Using butcher's twine, tie the flank steak up around the ground pork mixture snuggly, but not too tight. Ensure the ground pork mixture doesn't squish out the sides. Tie a knot every 1 1/2 - 2 inches. Remember when tying the knots, you are going to eventually slice your roll and each slice is going to have at least one tied string holding it together.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. This stuffed flank steak can be made the day before you need it. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate until needed. The longer you refrigerate, the easier your stuffed flank steak will be to slice.
• Preheat oven to broil and place one of your racks almost at the top. Place the rack one level down from the top. Another rack should be placed two levels from the bottom. This will save you from doing it later on when your oven is hot.
• Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with rack in tinfoil and lightly coat in cooking spray. Set aside.
• Remove roll from your refrigerator and place on your work surface. Now that your stuffed flank steak has been refrigerated, it will slice so much easier.
• Using a sharp serrated knife, saw (don't press your knife) into your roll. Cut slices so that every slice will have at least one string holding it together. Cut between the strings. Slices should be between 1 1/2 and 2 inches thick. Try and make them about the same size so they will all cook at the same rate. Also make some thinner slices for children and larger ones for adults. Just remember to adjust your cooking time accordingly. You usually end up with between 6 and 8 slices. Make small slices into your stuffed flank steak to properly space out your slices before cutting. This way, you ensure there is at least one string holding every slice together.
• Place your slices on prepared baking sheet.
• Place baking sheet under the broiler for 7- 9 minutes. You want to see the tops browning nicely.
• Flip and repeat with on the other side.
• Next, place baking sheet on lower rack and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
• Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of the slices and the amount of filling.
• Make sure your thermometer reads 160 degrees before removing Stuffed London Broil from your oven.
• Cut away all of the strings and serve. Enjoy!

DRY RUBBED LONDON BROIL

Steps:

• Rub London broil with olive oil and then coat generously with the dry rub. Let stand for about 15 minutes at room temperature.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Place meat on grill and grill for about 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing on the bias.
• Mix all ingredients together thoroughly in a small bowl.

SEASONED LONDON BROIL

Steps:

• Mix dressing mix, wine and oil. Score steak on both sides, being careful not to cut more than 1/8 inch into each side of steak. Place steak in shallow dish.
• Brush both sides of steak evenly with the salad dressing mxture; cover. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade.
• Preheat broiler. Broil, 2 to 3 inches from heat, for 6 to 7 min. on each side for medium doneness (160°F). With knife slanted, cut steak across the grain into thin slices.

GRILLED MARINATED LONDON BROIL

Steps:

• Mince the garlic to a paste with salt and in a blender blend with the salt, red wine, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and honey.
• In a heavy-duty sealable plastic bag, combine London broil with marinade. Seal bag, pressing out excess air, and put in a shallow baking dish. Marinate steak, chilled, turning occasionally, at least 4 hours and up to 24.
• Bring steak to room temperature before grilling. Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off, and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, 7 to 9 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
• Holding a knife at a 45-degree angle, cut steak across grain into thin slices and serve with tomatoes.

SHEET PAN LONDON BROIL WITH ASPARAGUS GRIBICHE

Steps:

• For the London broil: Set a large resealable plastic bag in a medium saucepan and pull the edges of the bag over the sides of the pan for easy access to the bag. Add the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic cloves, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the bag and whisk to combine. Add the London broil and seal the bag tightly. Remove the bag from the pan and use your hands to rotate the meat, coating thoroughly in the marinade. Lay the bag flat on a cutting board and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, flipping the bag after 30 minutes. (The seasoned meat can also be stored in the refrigerator overnight. Let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.)
• For the gribiche: Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a boil over high heat. Use a large spoon to gently add the eggs. Boil for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Crack, peel and roughly chop the eggs.
• Whisk the oil, mustard, vinegar, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the parsley, chives, capers and cornichons. Fold in the chopped eggs. Cover and set aside to marinate. (The gribiche can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; return to room temperature before using.)
• While the gribiche is marinating, position an oven rack about 4 inches from the heating element and preheat the broiler to high. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place in the oven to preheat.
• Remove the steak from the bag and discard any stuck-on garlic cloves. Pull the preheated sheet pan from the oven and place the steak in the center. Broil until nicely charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the center of the steak registers between 120 and 125 degrees F, 6 to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Transfer the steak to the cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
• For the asparagus: While the steak rests, add the asparagus to the same sheet pan and toss with the olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Broil until the asparagus is vibrantly green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
• Divide the asparagus among plates and spoon the gribiche over the top. Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain and divide among the plates.

LONDON BROIL WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare the steak: Dissolve the bouillon cube in 3/4 cup hot water in a bowl; set aside to cool. Whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil, the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place the steak in a large resealable plastic bag, pour in the marinade and seal, squeezing out the air. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 1 day.
• Prepare the herb butter: Mix the butter with the chives, parsley, chervil, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the lemon juice in a bowl.
• About 30 minutes before cooking, remove the meat from the bag (discard the marinade), dry it well and bring to room temperature. Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat, about 2 minutes. Rub the steak with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon salt over the surface of the pan; add the meat and set a heavy skillet on top to weigh it down. Sear for about 7 minutes; turn the steak, replace the weight and cook until a thermometer inserted into the side reads 110 degrees for medium-rare, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the steak to a cutting board; brush with some of the herb butter, tent with foil and let rest for about 10 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain; top with more herb butter and drizzle with the pan juices.
