• Olive oil — ¼ cup

Instructions

6. Transfer your roast to a baking sheet and bake for an hour and a half, covered.

Substitutions

• Red wine — Red wine is a common ingredient in most roast recipes, and Pioneer Woman’s London Broil recipe is no exception. Red wine provides some acidity, a complex flavor, and moisture. Still, if you wish to make a change for any reason, vinegar will do just fine. Red wine vinegar is perhaps the best choice, with white vinegar being a close second. Lastly, you could also use alcohol-free wine as well.

• Beef broth — Another fairly common ingredient, beef broth is a must-have for any cook. If you’re out, chicken broth will work perfectly, though some may notice the difference. Bouillon is another alternative, too.

• Worcestershire sauce — Delivering a complex umami flavor, Worcestershire sauce is one of the key ingredients in Pioneer Woman's London Broil recipe. Soy sauce could be a fine alternative, preferably a low-sodium one.

Variations

• Try different cuts — If you’d like to have an authentic experience, you’d be better off sticking to the flank steak. But you could also go with top sirloin as well. The key point of the recipe is the marinade, so as long as your marinade is good, you should be just fine.

Equipment

• Measuring cups and spoons

• Mixing bowl

• Large pan

• Baking sheet

• Oven

Storage

• Transfer the leftovers to an airtight container.

• Once stored in your fridge, the leftovers will last for 4 days.

• You could also freeze as well, and it will last for up to 3 months.

Pro Tips

• Experiment with the marinade — What sets a great London Broil from an average one is the marinade. While this variation uses a combination of Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, red wine, and some classic spices, you could always opt for using different ingredients. Butter is a common alternative, along with paprika, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, and oregano.

• Let it rest — Even if you’ve prepared the best marinade, that won’t matter unless you let the meat rest for some time, which would be 10 minutes ideally.
