Ingredients
For the Steak:
1½ pounds London Broil (about 1 inch thick)
For the Marinade:
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1½ tablespoons dried)
¼ cup honey
½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
½ cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt (omit if using regular soy sauce)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Steak:
Score both sides of the steak in a shallow crisscross pattern. This helps the marinade absorb more effectively.
Make the Marinade:
In a small bowl, whisk together rosemary, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Pour into a gallon-size zip-top bag, add the steak, seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally 24 hours.
Preheat & Rest:
About 1 hour before grilling, remove the steak from the fridge to come to room temperature.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) and brush the grill rack with oil.
Grill the Steak:
Remove steak from marinade (reserve marinade).
Grill for about 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the internal temp reaches 125°F for medium-rare.
Rest the Meat:
Transfer to a plate, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. Temp will rise to about 130°F as it rests.
Reduce the Marinade:
While the steak rests, bring reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Use as a drizzle or dipping sauce.
Slice and Serve:
Slice steak very thinly across the grain, angling the knife for paper-thin slices. Serve hot with sauce on the side.
Notes
Use fresh rosemary for best flavor. If using dried, reduce to 1½ tablespoons.
Adjust grill time based on steak thickness—use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Always slice London broil thinly and across the grain for the most tender bite.
If using regular soy sauce, skip the added salt in the marinade.
