Herb-Infused London Broil is a flavorful and aromatic dish that's perfect for any occasion — whether you're hosting a summer barbecue or just having a cozy family dinner. This recipe combines the rich, savory notes of flank steak with a marinade bursting with fresh herbs and spices.
Flank steak is the star of this dish, known for its rich beefy flavor and lean texture. The olive oil in the marinade helps to tenderize the meat and carry the flavors of the herbs and spices. Balsamic vinegar adds a subtle sweetness and acidity that balances the savory components. The Worcestershire sauce provides a deep umami flavor, enhancing the meatiness of the steak. Fresh garlic, rosemary, and thyme bring a fragrant herbal note, while salt and black pepper round out the seasoning, ensuring every bite is perfectly seasoned.
This London Broil pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a fresh garden salad. For a more hearty meal, serve it alongside creamy mashed potatoes or a warm loaf of crusty bread. A glass of red wine, like a Cabernet Sauvignon, can complement the flavors perfectly.
Start by combining the marinade ingredients. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is well blended and those herbs are evenly distributed.
Next, place your flank steak in a resealable plastic bag. Pour that fragrant marinade over the steak, seal the bag, and give it a gentle massage to ensure the steak is fully coated. Pop it in the fridge and let it soak up all that goodness for at least two hours — or overnight if you really want to maximize the flavor.
When you're ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While that's warming up, remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with some paper towels. This helps to achieve a nice sear.
Place the steak on the grill and cook it for about 6-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time if you prefer it more or less done. It's always good to have a meat thermometer on hand to check the internal temperature if you're unsure.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This resting period is crucial — it allows the juices to redistribute, making for a juicier steak. Slice it thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
