Ingredients

Kosher salt: Season generously with kosher salt unless you're following a low-sodium diet. Quite honestly, you can use any of your favorite seasoning combinations to elevate the flavor even more. Don't be afraid to experiment to add your twist.

Clarified butter: If you're following a dairy-free diet, use clarified butter or ghee in place of regular butter. My daughter has to limit her dairy intake, so I chose clarified butter instead. However, feel free to use just cooking oil, for example, extra virgin olive oil or grapeseed oil if you prefer not to use butter.

Rosemary: Quickly frying the rosemary, before sautéing is a pro tip for added flavor.

Best Way to Cook London Broil in the Oven

Follow these simple instructions for the best flavorful, simple, and tender London Broil.

Season

Do not be afraid to add a good amount of kosher salt to your London Broil. In my opinion, this type of steak requires a generous amount of salt if you want the maximum amount of flavor.
If you're on a low-sodium diet, use salt sparingly or adapt according to your specific diet needs. Also, feel free to add other seasonings if you choose.

Sear

Searing your London Broil FIRST before baking it in the oven is a MUST.

Sear both sides of your London broil
The caramelized outer coating that's formed from the searing process adds to the depth of flavor, seals in juices, and takes your London Broil to the next level
Use a cast iron skillet, oven-proof skillet, or dutch oven
Allow your skillet to get hot enough that it creates a sizzling sound when adding your meat (you can test your skillet by adding a few sprinkles of water - if the water sizzles your pan is ready)
(Optional) Before searing, fry a sprig of rosemary in the oil before adding your meat

Bake

After creating a beautiful crusty outer coating from the searing process, place the skillet in the oven and continue cooking to your desired doneness
My family prefers their steak cooked just until no longer pink, so baking for 10 to 15 minutes was perfect.

Finishing touch

After removing the London Broil from the oven, finish it off by adding a pat of butter on top of the steak then allow the butter to drizzle down the sides
Spoon pan juices over the top and allow it to rest to for 5 minutes to retain its juices
Then, slice thinly against the grain

Top tip

Pat dry your London broil thoroughly with paper towels
All the skillet to get hot but not smoking hot
Sear the outside and cook to a minimum internal temperature, so it's still juicy for best results.

What is the best temperature to cook London Broil?

The best temperature to cook London Broil is 400 degrees. If you're oven cooks fast, drop the temperature down to 350 degrees.More importantly, a meat thermometer is the most accurate way to check if your meat is done. The internal temperature will depend on your preference:An internal temperature of 135 degrees is for medium rareInternal temperature of 145 degrees is for medium to well done

Should I wrap my London broil in foil?

No, it's not necessary to wrap in foil; however, I strongly recommend using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. This will take the guess work out of knowing if it's done or not. It cooks pretty quickly, so you want to make sure that you DO NOT overcook cook as it can become dry if you do not stay on top of it.
