First and foremost, London broil is not a cut of meat, though top round steak or flank are typically used. Although some grocery stores sell meat under that name, you still shouldn’t go around asking for London broil. The term is associated with the preparation of the meat wherein it’s marinated and seared or broiled under high heat.

The most crucial element in London broil, in fact, is the marinade. This is because top round steak or flank are cheap but tougher and leaner cuts of meat that require marinade to tenderize the meat. The wine and herb marinade in this recipe helps to both tenderize the meat and give it a sweet and savory flavor. And why mushrooms in a marinade? That’s because portobello mushrooms contribute to a meaty flavor, and together with the tomatoes, they add a great texture to the dish.

Another important thing not to miss is a meat thermometer. A meat thermometer helps determine the internal temperature of your meat, depending on the type of doneness you desire.

Once you’ve cooked your scrumptious London broil, you can pair it with potatoes, green beans, or salads. Try our classic Copycat Ruby Tuesday’s Tempura Green Bean recipe for a light crunch. Then, light a few candles and you got yourself a fancy-schmancy dinner that’s easy on your wallet!
