This London broil has a wonderfully subtle flavor and is particularly great for folks who love mild foods. Though, unlike the other London broil recipes in this book, it doesn’t make the best sandwich leftovers. The leftovers are, however, great for salads, rice bowls, or other Asian-inspired favorites. Though I always love the added flavor that an outdoor grill provides, as a second option, this London broil can be prepared under a broiler for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer until the desired doneness is reached.

　　

Ingredients

makes 6 servings

　　1/3 cup lower-sodium soy sauce

　　1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice

　　1 1/2 tablespoons peeled, minced fresh ginger

　　1 tablespoon brown sugar, not packed

　　1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

　　1 3/4 pounds trimmed London broil

　　

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lemon or lime juice, ginger, sugar, and olive oil until well combined. Place the London broil in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the meat. Seal the bag and toss the meat well to coat it completely with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 to 6 hours or overnight.

　　

Step 2

Preheat the grill to high heat.

　　

Step 3

Remove the London broil from the bag and drain off any excess marinade. Grill for about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil. Allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin slices and serve immediately, or refrigerate to enjoy as leftovers for up to 3 days.
