Balsamic Glazed London Broil Recipes

LONDON BROIL WITH CHERRY-BALSAMIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk wine, vinegar, cherry preserves, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place meat in a shallow glass dish. Pour the marinade over the meat and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, turning several times, for at least 20 minutes or up to 8 hours.
• Remove the meat from the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan; add shallot and set aside. Brush a ridged grill pan (see Tip) or heavy skillet with oil; heat over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook for 10 to 12 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness, or until it reaches desired doneness. (It may appear that the meat is burning but don't worry, it will form a pleasant crust.) Transfer the meat to a cutting board; let rest for 5 minutes.
• While the meat is cooking, bring the marinade to a boil; cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Remove from the heat; add butter and whisk until melted.
• Slice the meat thinly against the grain. Add any juices on the cutting board to the sauce. Serve the meat with the sauce.
• Ingredient note: London broil is a thicker cut of steak that benefits from the tenderizing effects of a marinade.Tip: A ridged grill pan is great for indoor grilling, but you can use the broiler or, if weather permits, cook the steak on an outdoor grill.

• Preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Season the meat with the salt and pepper.

• Place the meat on the prepared baking sheet and slather with the glaze. Broil, 4 inches from the heat, turning once, to desired doneness, 12 minutes for medium-rare, up to 14 minutes for medium. Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes, then slice very thinly, against the grain. Serve hot.
