Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 35 mins Ready Time: 4 hrs


• prick the london broil on both sides several times with a fork; place into a resealable plastic bag. whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, sugar, green onions, worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. pour into the bag with the meat, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal. marinate in the refrigerator at least 3 to 4 hours, but overnight is best.
• preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• remove the beef from the marinade, and shake off excess. discard the remaining marinade.
• cook the beef until it is beginning to firm, and is hot and slightly pink in the center, about 17 to 20 minutes per side. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees f (60 degrees c). cover the meat with two layers of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
