Ingredients

• 2 pounds London broil (top round steak)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Remove the London broil from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar to create a marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade evenly all over both sides of the London broil. Cover and let it marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. For deeper flavor, you can marinate the steak in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours, bringing it back to room temperature before cooking.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to broil (high setting) and position the oven rack 4-6 inches below the broiler. Place a cast-iron skillet or broiler-safe pan under the broiler to heat for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the London broil for 2-3 minutes per side to develop a nice crust.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the meat to the preheated cast-iron skillet or broiler pan and place under the broiler. Broil for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F (medium doneness can be achieved at 135-140°F).

Step 7

Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the London broil from the broiler and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, and enjoy!
