Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, marinate the flank steak in the garlic and oil mixture for at least an hour or overnight for a more intense taste. If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used as a substitute, but reduce the amount to 1 tsp. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, while flank steak is traditional for London Broil, you can use other cuts like sirloin or skirt steak. Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the cut to achieve your desired doneness.
What can I serve with mushroom sauce?
Mushroom sauce pairs well with a variety of sides. Consider serving it over egg noodles, rice, or polenta. It also complements grilled vegetables or a simple green salad, adding a savory depth to your meal.
How do I know when the steak is done?
To check for doneness, use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F. Remember that the steak will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the heat, so consider taking it off just before it reaches your target temperature.
