Southwestern Style London Broil With Chili Butter Food

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.

COWBOY CHILI

Steps:

LONDON BROIL WITH CHILI MARINADE

Steps:

• Place steak in a large ziploc bag.
• Mix remaining ingredients together and pour over steak.
• Seal bag and refrigerate for 2-3 hours turning occasionally.
• Remove from fridge about 20-30 minutes before you are going to grill it.
• Brush a little olive oil on your grill rack and preheat the grill.
• Remove steak from marinade. Reserve a little of the marinade to brush on the steak while cooking.
• Grill, turning as needed and brushing with the reserved marinade until done to your liking.
• Mine took about 20 minutes for medium rare.
• Let stand 10 minutes and then slice thinly against the grain of the meat.
• Serve and enjoy!

LONDON BROIL WITH CHILI SEASONINGS

Steps:

• Combine oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley, and spices.
• Brush the steak with half of the mixture on both sides and broil or grill 7 minutes.
• Turn, brush with the remaining mixture, and cook another 7 minutes.
• Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

DELICIOUS LONDON BROIL WITH BEEFY GRAVY

Steps:

• Turn broiler on. Brush meat with Worcestershire and season with onion and garlic powder and salt and pepper. I like to massage this all into the meat and let it rest while the broiler preheats.
• Cook London broil on top rack for 6 minutes on each side, for rare to medium rare, longer for medium.
• Remove meat from broiler and let it rest 5 minutes. IMPORTANT- do NOT skip this step. The juices will redistribute throughout the meat during this rest time and continue to cook. This will give you a very juicy steak.
• Place a small skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons butter, add finely chopped shallot, cook 2 minutes, then whisk in flour and cook 1 minute.
• Add 2 cups beef broth to the pan and bring to a bubble. Cook for 2 minutes to allow the broth to reduce a little. Add 1/4 cup steak sauce and black pepper, to taste.
• Very thinly slice the meat on an angle against the grain (the lines in the meat). The degree to which you can slice thinly slice the meat will determine how TENDER it is to cut and chew, so make sure the carving knife is sharp - the thinner the better!
• Transfer the slices to a platter keeping them lined up as you sliced them, forming a whole steak, just sliced. Pour gravy down the center and serve any remaining gravy on the side.
• We like this with egg noodles or a baked potato, a green salad and some crusty bread. Oh and of course a nice glass of wine!
