London broil is a classic American dish that is made from flank steak. It is typically marinated in a mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids, then grilled or roasted. Whiskey marinade is a popular choice for London broil, as it adds a rich, smoky flavor to the meat. When choosing a whiskey for the marinade, it is important to select one that is not too smoky or overpowering, as this can mask the delicate flavor of the steak. A good option is a bourbon or Tennessee whiskey.

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:
- Opt for flank steak or top blade steak if you don't have London broil. These cuts are also suitable for marinating and grilling.
- Utilize a large resealable bag for marinating the steak. It allows the marinade to evenly coat the meat and prevents a mess.
- Tenderize the steak before marinating by using a meat mallet or a fork. This helps the marinade penetrate deeper and results in a more flavorful and tender steak.
- Don't marinate the steak for more than 24 hours, especially if using an acidic marinade. Prolonged marinating can break down the proteins in the steak, making it mushy.
- Discard the marinade after use. Do not reuse it as it may contain harmful bacteria from the raw meat.
- Bring the steak to room temperature before grilling. This ensures even cooking throughout the steak.
- Preheat the grill to high heat before grilling the steak. This sears the outside of the steak, locking in the juices and creating a flavorful crust.
- Cook the steak to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of the steak.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after grilling. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the whiskey marinade not only imparts a rich and smoky flavor to the London broil but also tenderizes the meat, making it fall-apart tender. The combination of whiskey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and herbs creates a well-balanced marinade that complements the beef's natural flavors. Experimenting with different types of whiskey, such as bourbon or rye, can add unique flavor variations to the marinade. Remember to follow the tips provided to ensure a perfectly cooked and flavorful London broil. Enjoy this delicious and versatile dish with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
