Ingredients for Herb-Crusted London Broil

Top round steak is lean and flavorful, making it a great choice for grilling. Olive oil helps to keep the steak moist and adds a touch of richness. Worcestershire sauce brings a savory depth that complements the beef. Garlic infuses the steak with aromatic notes. Salt enhances all the flavors, while black pepper adds a subtle heat. The fresh herbs — rosemary, thyme, and parsley — give the crust its vibrant, fresh taste.

Tips & Tricks

  • For more flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 130°F for medium-rare.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, use half the amount of dried herbs.
  • Let the steak come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this herb-crusted steak with a fresh green salad and roasted potatoes for a balanced meal. A glass of red wine, like a Cabernet Sauvignon, complements the flavors beautifully.

Herb-Crusted London Broil Recipe Walkthrough

First, in a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. This mixture will not only marinate the steak but also help the herbs stick later on.

Rub this marinade all over the steak. Make sure it's evenly coated, then let it rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat.

While the steak is marinating, preheat your grill to high heat. We want it hot to get a nice sear on the steak.

Once the grill is heated, take the steak out of the fridge. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade, which helps the herbs stick better. Coat it generously with the chopped rosemary, thyme, and parsley.

Place the steak on the grill. Grill it for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Keep an eye on it — grilling times can vary based on thickness and grill type.

After grilling, let the steak rest for 10 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender.

Finally, slice the steak thinly against the grain. This will ensure each bite is tender and flavorful. Serve immediately and enjoy!
