Here is my daughter's favorite recipe. I have been making London Broil this way almost as long as I have been married, and that is over 30 years. Melt butter in skillet. Cook and stir onions and 1/4 tsp salt in the butter until onions are tender. Keep warm over low heat. Stir together salad oil, lemon juice, garlic, 1/2 tsp salt and the pepper; brush on top side of meat. Set oven control at broil and/or 550~ degrees. Broil meat 2-3 inches from heat about 5 minutes or until brown. Turn meat; brush with oil mixture and broil just until rare, 5 minutes longer. Cut meat across grain at a slanted angle into very thin slices; serve with onions. NOTE: A can of mushrooms can be added with the onions. Brisket meat can be substituted for the flank steak. My Seasoning: 1 part garlic powder, 1 part onion powder, 1/2 part ground black pepper. Mix well before adding to recipe.

Best Tasting London Broil?
Fire up the grill for this versatile backyard favorite. With its hearty taste and unique ability to absorb flavors, the London Broil is a great way to feed your family and friends.
London broil is a North American beef-based food dish usually made by broiling or grilling marinated flank or round steak and then cutting it against the grain into thin strips. The origin of the name is obscure; the food is unknown in London, England.
Although many American butchers will label a cut of meat London broil, the term does not refer to a specific cut. The cut of meat traditionally used is flank steak, but top round roast/steak is also commonly used. Because the muscle fibers run the entire length of these cuts, the meat can be tough if not tenderized via pounding or massaging. Scoring, stabbing, cutting, penetrating, or otherwise mutilating the cut before sending it into the broiler results in a tougher finished product as it allows all the desirable juices to run out of the meat into the pan.
The preparation of London broil typically involves marinating the meat for several hours followed by heating in an oven broiler or outdoor grill. In both heating methods the meat is placed approximately three inches from a direct heat source and turned several times to promote even cooking and avoid burning. It is commonly served in thin slices, cut across the grain.
In Canada a ground meat patty wrapped in flank or round steak is known as a London broil. Some butchers will wrap the flank steak around a concoction of seasoned and ground or tenderized flank steak (Zehrs Grocers in the GTA). Others sell a pork sausage patty wrapped in flank or top round steak labeled as London broil (Goeman's Lakeshore Meats in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada). The website for Goeman's differentiates between Canadian London broil (the sausage patties wrapped in Top Round Steak) and American London broil (Top Round Steak). Another variant, popularized in Ontario, is a London broil loaf, wherein the tenderized flank steak exterior is wrapped around minced and spiced veal as the filler. In some regions, bacon will be added between the flank steak and the veal grind. disclaimer: compensated affiliate
