Open in Pepper →Why London Broil Is the Best-Kept Secret in the Meat Case
London broil isn't a specific cut — it's a preparation method, typically applied to flank steak or top round. The key is an acidic marinade that tenderizes the tough fibers, followed by high-heat cooking and thin slicing against the grain.
Marinate for at least 4 hours, broil or grill on high heat to medium-rare, and let it rest before cutting. Slicing against the grain at a 45-degree angle is non-negotiable — it's what makes the difference between tender and chewy.

Quick Tips
- 1
Marinate at least 4 hours
London broil is a tough cut that needs time in a marinade with acid — lemon, vinegar, or wine — to break down the muscle fibers. Overnight is ideal; anything less than 4 hours won't make much difference.
- 2
High heat, short cook time
London broil should be cooked fast over high heat — broiled or grilled — to medium-rare. The cut is too lean for low-and-slow, and anything past medium will make it tough and chewy.
- 3
Rest, then slice thin
Rest the steak for at least 10 minutes before cutting. Then slice very thin — 1/4 inch or less — across the grain at an angle. This is the single most important technique for tender London broil.
- 4
Score before marinating
Lightly score the surface of the meat in a crosshatch pattern before marinating. This helps the marinade penetrate deeper and speeds up the tenderizing process, especially for thicker cuts.
