London Broil with Garlic Pan Sauce

Instructions

Marinating the London Broil

1. In a small bowl, combine 3 cloves of finely minced garlic, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper. Set aside.
2. Use the textured side of a meat tenderizer to lightly pound both sides of the London broil.
3. Place the London broil into a gallon-sized ziplock bag and add the prepared marinade.
4. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 8-24 hours, flipping the bag at least twice during marination.
5. Remove the bag from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.

Cooking the London Broil

1. Heat a few tablespoons of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
2. Remove the London broil from the marinade and pat both sides dry with paper towels (discard the marinade).
3. Once the skillet is very hot, carefully place the dried London broil into the skillet and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes or until the underside develops a golden brown crust.
4. Flip the London broil and cook on the other side for another 5-6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Transfer the London broil onto a cutting board to rest and cover it lightly with foil.

Making the Garlic Pan Sauce

1. If your skillet is very hot, allow it to cool for a few minutes before making the pan sauce.
2. Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter along with the minced garlic.
3. Cook while stirring occasionally until the garlic softens and becomes fragrant.
4. Add 1 1/4 cups of beef broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
5. Simmer the sauce for a few minutes and then whisk in 1 tablespoon of butter, finely chopped fresh parsley, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
6. Transfer the skillet off of the heat.

Serving

2. Enjoy your London Broil with Garlic Pan Sauce!
