Steps:
- Combine the lemon juice, hot pepper flakes, cracked pepper, and salt in a nonreactive (glass, ceramic, or stainless steel) bowl and whisk until the salt crystals are dissolved. Add the lemon zest, garlic, parsley and basil. Stir or whisk in the olive oil. The virtue of this marinade is its freshness: Use it within 1 to 2 hours of making. Stir again before using.
LEMON HERB MARINADE
This easy Lemon Herb Marinade can be whipped up in 10 minutes. Zesty herbs and simple ingredients work together to elevate chicken, fish or pork. Feel free to switch up the herbs you use in this Lemon Herb Marinade. For example, for a lemon-rosemary marinade, consider substituting parsley for the basil and rosemary for the thyme. A good rule of thumb when mixing up marinades is, for fish, chicken and pork, light herbal notes tend to work well. This lemon and herb marinade is not to be missed.

Steps:
- Preparation: Cut beef into 1 inch cubes. Grate onion inside gallon size zip-lock bag to save onion juice. Place beef chunks into bag with grated onion, pour lemon juice over beef. Seal bag and mix together to ensure even coverage. Place bag inside a large bowl and refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days (the longer the better, in my opinion).
- Cooking: drain juice from beef and onion and thread beef chunks onto metal or water soaked bamboo skewers. Place under broiler (with oven rack on the second from the top brackets) for 10-20 minutes or until edges are dark brown and crispy, turning every 5 minutes or so. Meat can also be cooked on a hibachi or regular grill. Meat does not need to be cooked to 160 degrees (and should not be!) as the lemon juice "cooks" the meat with enzymes while it marinates.

Steps:
- Prick the London broil on both sides several times with a fork; place into a resealable plastic bag. Whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, sugar, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Pour into the bag with the meat, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 3 to 4 hours, but overnight is best.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the beef from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Cook the beef until it is beginning to firm, and is hot and slightly pink in the center, about 17 to 20 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Cover the meat with two layers of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.

Tips:
- To make sure the beef is tender when cooked, use a flavorful cut with a good amount of marbling. Popular cuts for marinating include flank steak, skirt steak, and tri-tip.
- Use a citrus-based marinade, such as lemon juice, lime juice, or orange juice, to help tenderize the beef and add flavor. Citrus juices contain enzymes that help to break down the proteins in the meat, making them more tender.
- Add other flavorful ingredients to your marinade, such as herbs, spices, garlic, and onion. You can also add a bit of honey or brown sugar to help caramelize the beef when it's cooked.
- Marinate the beef for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- When you're ready to cook the beef, remove it from the marinade and pat it dry. This will help the beef to brown evenly in the pan.
- Cook the beef over high heat for a short period of time to get a nice sear. Then, reduce the heat and continue cooking the beef until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Let the beef rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Lemon and onion marinated beef is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It can be grilled, pan-fried, or roasted, and can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is sure to please your taste buds.
