Classic London Broil with Simple Marinade & High-Heat Finish

London broil is a cut that rewards thoughtful preparation. While naturally lean, it becomes tender and flavorful when marinated and cooked properly. This recipe highlights Riverbend Cattle Company London broil, using a simple marinade and a high-heat cooking method to bring out the best in the beef.

The key is balance—allowing the marinade to enhance the flavor without overpowering it, and cooking the steak quickly so it stays tender when sliced properly.

  4. Remove steak from marinade and pat dry.
  5. Cook for 5–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
