LONDON BROILED FLANK STEAK
If you are like me you are confused by the terms London Broil and Flank Steak because our meat counters carry both cuts of meat. This recipe is for Flank Steak, not sure why it is called London Broiled though. I BBQ this instead of Broiling it.

SIMPLE BROILED FLANK STEAK WITH HERB OIL
Flank steak is a relatively lean cut of meat but full of flavor. This preparation is low on the fussiness factor: Put your seasoned steak on a preheated broiler pan and cook, no flipping needed. Just be sure to cut the meat against the grain-across, not parallel with, the visible lines of muscle fibers-so the steak will be tender, not chewy.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the broiler unit, and preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan or baking sheet with foil, and set the broiler insert on top of the broiler pan if using. Place the pan on the oven rack, and preheat until hot, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together 1/4 cup of the oil, parsley, vinegar, garlic, pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Cover the herb oil, and set aside until ready to serve.
- Stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of the steak.
- Carefully remove the broiler pan from the oven, put the steak in the center and broil (without turning) until nicely browned and firm, with some give when pressed in the thickest part, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain, and serve with the herb oil.
BROILED FLANK STEAK
Adapted from a very old issue of Food & Wine magazine. I haven't made this one in ages - but I recall that it was very good and really not as difficult as it may appear. Use a good, strong, dry red wine in this. I like to use Shiraz, but any hearty drinkable red will do fine. This marinates in a tomato and wine mixture, making it very tender. NOTE: Try to plan the timing so that the marinade has started cooking a few minutes before you pop the meat into the oven, so that they finish cooking at roughly the same time.

Steps:
- Combine tomatoes, broth, wine, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, thyme, and bay leaf in a large resealable plastic bag.
- Poke a few holes into the meat and place into the marinade bag, seal, toss to coat, and let marinade in the fridge overnight.
- When you are ready to start cooking,set the meat bag on your counter and let sit at room temperature 15 minutes, then begin preparing your pan etc.
- Prepare your broiler pan by lining bottom pan with foil and brushing the top with some oil (or spray with nonstick cooking spray).
- Set meat on prepared pan and leave on the counter while you preheat the broiler to the BROIL setting (usually around 500 F)- this will take about 10-15 minutes.
- For the Sauce: Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a light boil over medium-high heat,and let the liquid reduce until it measures 1 cup (takes a while- about 15 minutes).
- Once marinade has reduced, pour it through a strainer set over a bowl (discard the chunky parts)-then pour the liquid back into the pan and set aside, off of the heat, until the meat is ready.
- For the Meat: Once you have started reducing the marinade for a few minutes, begin the meat.
- Set the meat pan under the broiler and cook 6-7 inches from the heat, 5-7 minutes, turn over and cook another 5 minutes for rare, or another 5 minutes for medium, even longer for well.
- When meat has cooked to your liking, remove to a carving board and cover with foil, let sit while you finish the sauce.
- Once meat is under the foil,heat the marinade again,but don't let it boil.
- Stir in butter until it melts and season to taste with salt and pepper (I like seasoned salt).
- Slice the meat against the grain and drizzle with some of the sauce.

LONDON BROIL ( BROILED FLANK STEAK)
I was browsing on this site for a Flank Steak recipe when I remembered this tried and trusted recipe from an old diet book "The New Canadian High Energy Diet" by Sandra Cohen-Rose and Dr Colin Penfield Rose. An easy marinade that does not have to be prepared as far ahead as some, which is good for those like me who are not always so organised! I often double the marinade quantity as it's a little "skimpy". Preparation time does not include marinating. Make extra to use in sandwiches.

Steps:
- Lightly score meat on top and bottom.
- Mix marinade and soak meat for several hours, then barbecue.
- NOTE: I removed the 1/8 t kosher salt after the reviews, although I suspect those reviewers probably used regular soy sauce rather than the low sodium as listed. When I use the Italian dressing, I don't use the kosher salt, but if I use olive oil, I do use it.
