Ingredients
- 2 pounds London broil
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the London broil from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature, which ensures more even cooking.
- In a large glass or ceramic dish, combine red wine, chopped fresh rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Place the London broil in the marinade, turning it to coat all sides evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 4-6 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Preheat the grill or broiler to high heat. If using an oven broiler, position the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
- Remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Season the meat with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Grill or broil the London broil for 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
- Remove from heat and let the meat rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice the London broil thinly against the grain at a 45-degree angle to ensure tenderness.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnishing with fresh rosemary sprigs.
Tips
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: For the best results, allow the London broil to marinate for at least 4-6 hours, or even overnight if you have the time. This will infuse the meat with the robust flavors of the red wine and rosemary.
- Bring to Room Temperature: Always remove the London broil from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. This step helps ensure even cooking and a juicier result.
- Pat Dry for a Perfect Sear: After marinating, make sure to pat the meat dry with paper towels. This will help achieve a nice sear when grilling or broiling.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure your London broil is cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer. Aim for 135°F for medium-rare and 145°F for medium.
- Rest Before Slicing: Let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is tender and flavorful.
- Slice Against the Grain: For maximum tenderness, always slice the London broil against the grain at a 45-degree angle. This technique helps break down the muscle fibers, making each bite more enjoyable.
- Garnish for Presentation: Enhance the visual appeal of your dish by garnishing with fresh rosemary sprigs before serving. It adds a touch of elegance and a hint of freshness!
