About this cut

What it is and how to use it

London broil is more of a cooking method than a single cut. At most shops it is a thick, lean slice of top round, though some cut it from other lean muscles such as the flank. It has a mild beef flavor, so it is usually marinated, cooked hot under the broiler or on the grill, and sliced thin across the grain. It feeds a family at a modest cost.

Cook’s tipMarinate for several hours, cook to at least 145°F, rest at least five minutes, and slice very thin against the grain.
