Marinated London Broil

I think every mom in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s had some version of this dish, but it taught me how to take a less-expensive, tougher cut of meat and make it delicious, says David Bonom.

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 3 ounces)

Ingredients

• 1/2  cup  chopped shallots
• 1/4  cup  low-sodium soy sauce
• 3  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
• 3  tablespoons  balsamic vinegar
• 1  tablespoon  olive oil
• 2  teaspoons  fresh thyme
• 1  teaspoon  dried oregano
• 4  garlic cloves, minced
• 1  (2-pound) boneless top round steak, trimmed
• Cooking spray
• 1/2  teaspoon  salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Pierce steak with a fork. Add steak to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 2 hours, turning every 30 minutes.

2. Preheat broiler.

3. Remove steak from bag; discard marinade. Scrape shallots and garlic from steak; discard shallots and garlic. Place steak on broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle steak evenly with salt and pepper. Broil 4 inches from heat for 6 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
