Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce low sodium is fine
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 pounds London broil roast such as top round or sirloin
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Place the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, onion powder and smoked paprika in a bowl or in a resealable gallon sized freezer bag. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the meat to the marinade. Marinate the meat for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  • BROILER DIRECTIONS: Preheat the broiler to medium (450 degrees F). Place the meat on a sheet pan coated with cooking spray. Broil for approximately 7 minutes per side, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 135-140 degrees F. The cook time may vary depending on the thickness of your meat.
  • GRILL DIRECTIONS: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook for approximately 7-8 minutes per side, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 135-140 degrees F. The cook time may vary depending on the thickness of your meat.
  • Let the meat rest for 5-7 minutes. Thinly slice the meat, then sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Notes

  1. While the meat should marinate for at least 2 hours, it can go as long as 12 hours. I try to do the full 12 hours whenever possible for the best flavor.
  2. It's very important to use a thermometer so that your meat does not overcook, as London broil can get tough if it's cooked for too long.
