Best 3 Tender London Broil Recipes

TENDER & TASTY GRILLED LONDON BROIL

Steps:

• In a medium-size, heavy-bottomed saucepan heat the oil over moderate heat.
• Add the shallots and saute until soft (about 5 minutes).
• Add the remaining ingredients EXCEPT THE MEAT; bring to a boil.
• Remove marinade from heat and let cool.
• Pour the cooled marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the beef. With the bag securely closed turn gently until beef is evenly coated. Refrigerate overnight; turn bag ocassionally.
• Transfer the beef to a platter and bring to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, lightly grease the grill rack. Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Remove steak from marinade; reserving marinade. Grill the beef 3 to 4 inches from the heat source for 8 to 10 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
• Brush with reserved marinade after turning. DISCARD LEFTOVER MARINADE.
• Let the beef stand for 5 minutes; slice into thin slices across the grain.

TENDER VENISON LOIN (LONDON BROIL STYLE)

Steps:

• 1. Thinly slice the garlic and mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
• 2. Use venison backstrap (filet) whole or you may substitute moose, sheep or even beef. You may also use any roast cut. You will note in the photo that I show one filet unsliced next to the sliced one.
• 3. Place meat in a resealable plastic bag and add marinade mix. Refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours but preferably overnight, turning occasionally.
• 4. Place meat on broiler pan and discard marinade. Insert meat thermometer.
• 5. While this recipe uses the oven to bake the dish, you may also broil the meat in the oven (still using the meat thermometer). Or you may also use a grill. However, I have found that using an oven is the best insurance policy with cuts of wild game because the grill or broiler can quickly over-cook with uneven or too hot a temperature.
• 6. Bake at 350 until the thermometer reads 10 degrees before the desired level: 130-135 for rare, 135-140 for med rare but never more than 145 degrees (for beef, 120-130 rare, 130-135 med rare, 135-140 med). Let meat rest for 5 minutes upon removal from oven... it will cook another 5-10 degrees while resting and juices will flow back throughout the meat.
• 7. Taken out at 120 degrees, allowed to sit 5 minutes it will reach 125 -130 degrees and will produce a very nice, rare cut in venison and 145 degrees is beyond the edge of medium rare and will be at or above medium to well. Remember with this type of wild game it should always be served rare or medium rare. You must watch your thermometer closely because the meat's internal temp will escalate quickly and can get away from you. For those in the well-cooked crowd please have faith that the rare cut is delicious and letting it rest brings the juices back throughout the meat. If unsure about cooking temp try it first at 130 (120 for beef)... you can always pop it back in the oven if too rare for your taste.
• 8. After resting (don't cheat... let it rest 5 minutes), slice thin, about 1/8th inch slices and serve. Slicing thin is another secret to unlocking the flavor and texture.
• 9. Great with a hearty red wine, salad and other veggies. Enjoy!

JUICY / TENDER LONDON BROIL

Steps:

• 1. Sprinkle both sides of steak evenly with salt. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• 2. Remove steak from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling. About 20 minutes before grilling, turn on grill, turn all burners to high, close cover, and heat until very hot, about 15 minutes.
• 3. Unwrap steak, brush both sides of steak with oil and sprinkle liberally with pepper.
• 4. Place steak on hottest part of grill. Grill, flipping steak every 4 minutes, until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 120-130 degrees for rare to medium-rare, 16 to 20 minutes. Medium - medium well is mine was grilled
• 5. Place steak on a cutting board and let rest, tented with foil, about 10 minutes. Holding thin slicing knife at 45-degree angle to meat, slice very thinly and serve. Note: The longer you cook a London Broil, the tougher it will be. I caught mine just in time, would have liked it a bit more on the medium side. It was still very juicy and delicious.
