Ingredients
Instructions
- Brush the steak with olive oil.
- Combine the ground pepper, minced garlic, red pepper, dried parsley, dried thyme, and salt; rub the mixture onto both sides of the steak.
- Chill the steak until ready to grill.
- Cook over medium-hot coals until the desired doneness is achieved.
- Slice the steak into thin strips and serve with the juices from the meat.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, marinate the London Broil in the spice mixture and olive oil overnight if time permits. You can substitute fresh herbs for dried ones; use a tablespoon of fresh thyme and parsley instead. If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of ground pepper or omit the red pepper altogether. Make sure to let the meat rest after grilling for more tender slices.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sliced London Broil with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, such as Cool Grape Salad, for a refreshing balance. It pairs beautifully with roasted potatoes or a hearty grain like quinoa. For a complete meal, consider offering crusty bread or a light dessert like Peach Or Pineapple Upside-Down Cake to round out the experience.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover London Broil can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave using a cover to prevent drying out. For best results, slice the steak before reheating to ensure even warming throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute flank steak or sirloin for London Broil if needed. Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the meat, as different cuts may require varying grilling times to achieve the desired doneness.
What is the best way to tell when the London Broil is done?
Using a meat thermometer is the most accurate way to check doneness. Aim for 130°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done. Remember that the meat will continue to cook slightly after removing it from the grill, so consider taking it off a few degrees shy of your target temperature.
Can I grill this recipe indoors?
Absolutely! You can use a grill pan on the stovetop or an indoor electric grill. Make sure to ventilate your kitchen well, as indoor grilling can create smoke. Follow the same cooking times and techniques as you would for outdoor grilling to achieve a delicious result.
