London Broil Round Steak

We don't often cook red meat at home, but when we do, our go-to recipe is this amazing London Broil Round Steak! It's a family favourite because it's incredibly juicy, tender, and perfect for those sunny summer days. I love serving it with either my Herbed Cauliflower Rice or my refreshing Heirloom Tomato Salad. I also love topping this one with my homemade Chimichurri sauce.

Now, let me spill the secret ingredient: it's my wonderful husband who's the genius behind this recipe! He's secretly a master chef, and his whisky-based marinade is what makes this dish extra special. The flavours are simply divine, and it keeps the meat perfectly tender and balanced.

When you're out shopping for the London Broil, be sure to chat with your local butcher or look for the name tag indicating a London Broil round steak. Don't worry if it seems a bit tough initially. As it marinates, it magically transforms into a melt-in-your-mouth delight.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb. London Broil from your local butcher

  • Chimichurri (optional)*

  • ½ cup whisky 

  • ¼ cup soy sauce 

  • 1 tbsp. Minced garlic

  • 1 tsp. Freshly cracked pepper

  • ½ tsp. Kosher salt

*I highly recommend prepping the Chimichurri before cooking the London Broil. This way, you can focus on cooking the meat to perfection!

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prepare the steak marinade by adding the whisky, soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Stir together and add the steak. Let the meat marinade for 2 hours or overnight (the longer the better!).

  2. When ready, preheat the oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C).

  3. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.

  4. Once the pan is hot, cook for about 2 minutes per side. To get a cross-hatch pattern, turn the steak 45 degrees after about 2 minutes. Repeat on the other side.

  5. Transfer the London broil to a baking pan and finish cooking for about 15 to 20 minutes or until a thermometer registers 125 degrees for medium-rare.

  6. Place the London broil on a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

NOTES:

  • Chimichurri: While I highly recommend this step, it is totally optional! If you're serving guests, I suggest preparing the Chimichurri on the side, so your guests can add it if they choose. 

BON APPETIT!
