When I first presented ways to cook London Broil, I used Lawry's Beef Marinade (See Below) to tenderize and flavor, and it turned out excellent.
The super markets often label London Broil as a cut of meat. When it reality it's a method of preparing it�.like you would prepare flank steak because it can be a little hard on the jaw to chew.
Actually, the labeled London Broil thing doesn't bother me. The first version I prepared on my blog was a roast. However, this time it was steaks.
And, these are big hummers, really big cuts of meat. Also, I just know from experience they were going to be tough, so I marinate them.
Instead of the Lawry Marinade that I used before, I substituted "McCormick's Grill Mates Mesquite Marinade". (See Below) You mix the contents of the package with � cup of water, and a � cup of Vegetable Oil. I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil instead of the veggie oil. It helps immensely to breakdown the toughness. Kind of like the Lawry better though.
I have a Tupperware marinating pan (below) I use. You can use a plastic bag. Both work great!
Pour and then brush on the marinade and assure full coverage of the meat. Since any excess marinade sits at the bottom of the container, you will want to turnover, or rotate several times while you let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.
When you get ready to grill, let the steak sit out at least thirty minutes prior. You will want to bring your grill up to a high setting, in the meanwhile, so you can sear the steaks.
The steaks I grilled were huge, so rather than grill them for five minutes per side, it was more like eight minutes per side to bring them up to medium rare or 130 degrees. Much longer, 160 for medium�175 for well.
Wrap your steaks in foil and let them sit for about fifteen before serving. Like flank steak you will want to slice real thin. Just more ways to fix, cook and enjoy London Broil recipes. Enjoy!

I suppose there are ten thousand different ways to cook London Broil, so here is one more recipe.
Since it is BBQ and outdoor grilling season, I do just about everything, except heat tea water on one of the three barbecue grills I have. Actually, I do a lot of BBQ'ing, and grilling when it isn't barbecuing and grilling season.
Our local Safeway store had London Broil Round Roast on. I forgot to look at the weight, but I am guessing between three and a half and four pounds. A biggie!
I am not sure I know what they mean by "Round", but it looked like a roast. It wasn't tied-up like most "Watermelon Roasts" are�..just a big slab of meat.
Sometimes "real simple" is the best. I had a package of Lawry's Beef Marinade stashed away and decided to try it. It has all kinds of spices and contains a tenderizer.
Naturally, I didn't follow the directions on the package. They want you to poke holes in the beef with a fork�.I did that. They want you to marinate the beef for only thirty minutes in the mix�here I failed.
After covering the London Broil with the mix for 30 minutes, I poured off the excess and let it marinate for a couple of hours in the fridge. I saved the excess marinade I poured off to add later.
I used my gas grill to cook the roast on indirect heat. What I did is place a water pan, filled with hot water, with a grill on top, in the middle of the barbecue.
Then I added back the Lawry Marinade, not to the roast but to the water.
Next, I turned both burners on medium, got it up to temp (350 or little higher), and cooked the London Broil Roast for one and a half hours with the lid down. This comes out rare. I always use a meat thermometer to check.
Cooking time is longer for medium or well done.
I have written articles, and have posted on my blog here about the benefits of using a water pan on a gas grill. It's really simple to use one, and as long as you can get the lid down over the pan and whatever you are cooking, you have it made.
With the use of a water pan, it is self-basting and adds flavor and moisture to anything you are cooking. After you take it off the barbie, wrap in foil and let it sit for 15 minutes.
If you want to know more, please leave a comment on my blog. This has to rank real high in ways to cook London Broil, utilizing a gas barbecue, a smoker or a charcoal grill.
