Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Lemon London Broil.
Step 1
Start by pricking the London broil steak all over with a fork. This helps the marinade penetrate the meat, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavor. Place the steak into a resealable plastic bag for easy marinating.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, sugar, sliced green onions, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. This zesty marinade is what will transform your steak into a mouthwatering dish!
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the steak in the bag, making sure to coat it thoroughly. Squeeze out any excess air from the bag and seal it tightly. For the best flavor, let the steak marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 to 4 hours, but overnight is even better if you can wait!
Step 4
When you're ready to cook, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the leftover marinade—it's done its job!
Step 6
Place the steak on the grill and cook it for about 17 to 20 minutes per side. You want it to be firm yet slightly pink in the center. For perfect doneness, use an instant-read thermometer; it should read 140°F (60°C) when it's ready.
Step 7
Once cooked, cover the steak with two layers of aluminum foil and let it rest in a warm area for about 10 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, making your steak even more tender and juicy.
Step 8
Finally, slice the steak thinly across the grain and serve it up! Enjoy the burst of lemony flavor with every bite.
How to Serve
Serve the sliced London broil with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. A drizzle of extra lemon juice can enhance the flavors even more!
How to Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or enjoy cold in a salad.
