London Broil Marinades FAQs
It refers to two things: a few different cuts of beef such as top round and flank steak, and a cooking technique used for tenderizing even the toughest steaks. This involves marinating your beef for several hours up to overnight, to tenderize it, and then grilling it or roasting it in the oven. Finally, the beef is sliced thinly against the grain for the most tender meat.
The most common cut of beef used to make London Broil is the Top Round. You can also use this marinade recipe for a few different cuts of beef. The most common choices are top round and flank steak, but other budget-friendly cuts like flap and skirt work as well.
We recommend marinating for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. The acid in this marinade is the perfect way to tenderize this steak.
