London Broil


We aren't big ham lovers, and we just had turkey at Thanksgiving, so to the recipe box I went to find a tasty dinner for Christmas.  I made Mom's London Broil for Christmas last year, and everyone enjoyed it. So, why not do it again?  Some of you might think it odd to grill on Christmas, but this IS Arizona... but this can be (and is) enjoyed year round in any neck of the woods.

I use a top round London Broil cut of meat, which is often on sale. The one I bought was only $2.49 a pound, and will feed the whole family (with leftovers) for under $10.  (Don't tell!) The key to London Broil is the marinating... so you have to plan ahead.  :-)

Mom's London Broil
Marinade London Broil in the following for 24-48 hours:
     1 cup soy sauce
     1/2 cup water
     1/4 cup lemon juice
     1/4 cup honey
     2 stalks green onions, chopped
     1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Cover and place in the refrigerator.  Turn every 6-8 hours or so.
Cooking Instructions: Microwave meat for 5 minutes.  (I know... shameful... but it helps cook the inside so it won't get too crispy on the grill.)   Grill meat until medium-rare.  Slice meat crosswise (1/2" slices) to serve. Yummy!

*Mom's recipe says you can broil it, too.. but we usually grill it.  :-)
