Ingredients for Herb-Infused London Broil with Garlic Butter

The key to this recipe is the marinade, where olive oil acts as a base to carry flavors and keep the steak moist. The balsamic vinegar adds a sweet, tangy depth, while soy sauce brings a savory umami punch. Fresh garlic, rosemary, and thyme infuse the meat with aromatic notes, and the black pepper and salt enhance these flavors. Finally, butter melted with parsley creates a rich, finishing touch that elevates the dish.

Tips & Tricks

  • For maximum flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness; aim for 130°F for medium-rare.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
  • Slice against the grain for tender, easy-to-chew pieces.

Serving Suggestions

This London Broil pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a fresh, crisp salad. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside creamy mashed potatoes or a warm, crusty baguette to soak up the garlic butter. A glass of red wine, like Cabernet Sauvignon, complements the rich flavors wonderfully.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cut of beef?
Yes, you can substitute with flank steak or skirt steak, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
What if I don’t have fresh herbs?
Dried herbs can be used in a pinch; just use half the amount as their flavors are more concentrated.

Herb-Infused London Broil with Garlic Butter Recipe Walkthrough

Start by mixing your marinade. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce. Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme, then season with salt and pepper. This marinade will transform your steak into something extraordinary.

Place the beef steak in a resealable plastic bag, ensuring it's coated well with the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, though overnight is ideal for deeper flavor penetration. When you're ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Take the steak out of the marinade, and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps it achieve a beautiful crust. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time according to your preferred doneness, remembering that a meat thermometer is your best friend for accuracy.

While your steak is working its magic on the grill, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the parsley and a pinch of salt. This garlic butter will be the crowning glory of your dish.

Once the steak reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This resting period is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier bite. Finally, slice the steak thinly against the grain and drizzle the garlic butter over the slices just before serving. This step ensures each piece is as flavorful as possible.
