Notes

Making the Pioneer Woman London Broil recipe is easy, but here are some tips to make sure it turns out perfect every time:
 
  • Marinate for the Right Amount of Time: Let the steak marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you have the time. This helps to tenderize the meat and allows it to absorb all the flavors.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: When slicing the cooked meat, be sure to cut thin slices against the grain. This will keep the meat tender and make each bite more enjoyable.
  • Watch the Broiling Time: Broiling times can vary depending on the thickness of the steak and your oven. Check the meat after 4-5 minutes on each side to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
  • Let the Meat Rest: After cooking, allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices inside and ensures each slice is moist and flavorful.
  • Experiment with Marinade Additions: Feel free to add herbs like rosemary or thyme, or even a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade if you want to enhance the flavors even further.
