London Broil is familiar to many, yet unknown to some. Among other things, it is a way to eat really tasty meat on a budget! (ours is currently $5.99/lb) Of course I’m a sirloin guy, and the London Broil contains some of that, but I think I like it about as well as any cut! (and on the one above, there is even a wonderful bone for Fideaux)
Typically, London Broil is cooked in the oven, at say 425 F, on the top rack. Recipe here, thanks Pam S.! A meat thermometer is used to determine doneness. Then when you take the meat out, you slice it against the grain, much like a brisket. Wow.
You can also cook London Broil on the gas or charcoal grill, but it takes a bit of skill to cook this 2″ thick slab of beef on the grill without overcooking the outside. See the recipe we list from Tom Perini’s Texas Cowboy Cooking, what they call Laredo Broil.
Now, when you have had a wonderful supper with your London Broil, the good news is there is plenty left for sandwiches (with arugula, of course) for the next day, or a couple of days!
Remember, Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up; turkey is great, but not for every meal! A London Broil might fit your need to feed the family something great, over the holidays! Bon appetite!
