Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider marinating the London broil overnight. If you don't have country Dijon mustard, regular Dijon or even yellow mustard can work in a pinch. For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the marinade. Also, ensure your broiler is preheated for even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the London broil with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Mama Lech'S Cranberry Salad for a refreshing contrast. For a heartier option, consider serving it with mashed potatoes or a grain-based salad like quinoa. A drizzle of the remaining marinade can elevate the dish when served.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover London broil can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice the meat and warm it gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of broth or water to keep it moist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, while London broil is ideal, you can substitute with flank steak or sirloin. Just adjust cooking times as different cuts may require varying cooking methods and times to achieve the desired doneness.
How can I tell if the meat is cooked to medium rare?
For medium rare, the internal temperature should be about 130-135°F (54-57°C). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature at the thickest part of the roast. Remember that the meat will continue to cook slightly after removing it from the broiler.
What can I do with leftover London broil?
Leftover London broil is versatile; you can slice it thinly for sandwiches or salads. It also works well in stir-fries or tacos. Consider incorporating it into a hearty soup or serve it cold over greens for a refreshing salad option.
