DELICIOUS LONDON BROIL WITH BEEFY GRAVY



Delicious London Broil With Beefy Gravy image

Talk about a great steak dinner using an inexpensive cut of meat that turns out unbelievably tender and succulent, This is so delicious yet quick and easy but still gorgeous enough to impress your pickiest guests, even the dreaded in-laws! lol London broil Notes: This is the name of a finished dish, not a cut of meat, but butchers sometimes assign the name "London broil" to the following cuts: flank steak, top round steak, or top blade steak. Each would work well in a London broil recipe. According to foodsubs.com a London broil is actually the name of a finished dish, but this cut is sometimes given that name. A London broil cut is actually a top round steak, aka butterball steak, which are thick steaks cut from the top round. You could also use an equal size flank steak but I have never used that cut for this. I was amazed when I was channel surfing one day to find that Rachael Ray was preparing this recipe that I have been making for years! Well mine is a little different and dare I say more flavorful! hehehe I do hope you enjoy this as much as we do! This is great with some mushrooms added to the gravy - if you like mushrooms just toss them in with the shallots. Add a salad and some sort of starch and you have a meal sure to please your pickiest eaters.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs flank steaks or 1 1/2 lbs top round steaks, about 1 1/2 inches thick
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter, not margarine please
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1/4 cup steak sauce, your favorite

Steps:

  • Turn broiler on. Brush meat with Worcestershire and season with onion and garlic powder and salt and pepper. I like to massage this all into the meat and let it rest while the broiler preheats.
  • Cook London broil on top rack for 6 minutes on each side, for rare to medium rare, longer for medium.
  • Remove meat from broiler and let it rest 5 minutes. IMPORTANT- do NOT skip this step. The juices will redistribute throughout the meat during this rest time and continue to cook. This will give you a very juicy steak.
  • Place a small skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons butter, add finely chopped shallot, cook 2 minutes, then whisk in flour and cook 1 minute.
  • Add 2 cups beef broth to the pan and bring to a bubble. Cook for 2 minutes to allow the broth to reduce a little. Add 1/4 cup steak sauce and black pepper, to taste.
  • Very thinly slice the meat on an angle against the grain (the lines in the meat). The degree to which you can slice thinly slice the meat will determine how TENDER it is to cut and chew, so make sure the carving knife is sharp - the thinner the better!
  • Transfer the slices to a platter keeping them lined up as you sliced them, forming a whole steak, just sliced. Pour gravy down the center and serve any remaining gravy on the side.
  • We like this with egg noodles or a baked potato, a green salad and some crusty bread. Oh and of course a nice glass of wine!

DELICIOUS GRILLED LONDON BROIL



Delicious Grilled London Broil image

I have made London Broil frequently in the past, sometimes from recipes, sometimes my own concoctions but the preparation has always involved a long marinade to help tenderize and flavorize the meat. I have used a myriad of different combinations; soy, garlic, balsamic, honey, brown sugar and ginger have all been employed and generally the results have been quite good. This recipe, from Cooks Illustrated, is quite different; no marinade, no special flavorings, just a sprinkle of salt, a good tight wrap, a sit in the refrigerator and a a shower of freshly ground pepper. Sound boring? Au contraire, mon ami! It brought rave reviews from the chief culinary consultant and I thought it definitely ranked as the best London Broil I've ever made.

Categories     Meat

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 bottom round steak, 2 to 2 1/2 pounds and 1 1/2 inches thick
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Sprinkle both sides of steak evenly with salt; wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (steak can be salted and refrigerated for up to 24 hours).
  • 2. Remove steak from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling.
  • 3. About 20 minutes before grilling, ignite grill, turn all burners to high, close cover, and heat until very hot, about 15 minutes. Scrape cooking grate clean with grill brush.
  • 4. Unwrap steak; insert 3 metal skewers lengthwise through center of steak, spacing skewers about 1 inch apart. This is optional but it will keep meet from curling up on the grill. Brush both sides of steak with oil and sprinkle liberally with pepper. Place steak on hottest part of grill. Grill, flipping steak every 4 minutes, until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 120-130 degrees for rare to medium-rare, 16 to 20 minutes.
  • 5. Transfer steak to cutting board and let rest, tented with foil, about 10 minutes. Remove skewers. Holding thin slicing knife at 45-degree angle to meat, slice very thinly and serve.
  • Notes:.If you prefer your meat well-done this probably isn't the recipe for you. London broil tends to become tough and dry when cooked past medium rare.

Tips:

  • Choose a flank steak or top sirloin steak for a tender and flavorful London broil.
  • Marinating the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Use a flavorful marinade, such as one made with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and herbs.
  • Grill the steak over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve the London broil with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

London broil is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's a great choice for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Whether you're grilling it in the summer or cooking it in a skillet in the winter, London broil is sure to be a hit.
