London Broil

Ingredients

• 1 to 1 1/2-pound beef flank steak or top round steak
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Score meat by making shallow cuts at 1-inch intervals diagonally across steak in a diamond pattern. Repeat on second side. Place meat in a plastic bag set into a shallow dish. For marinade, combine oil, vinegar or lemon juice, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour over meat. Seal bag. Marinate at room temperature up to 1 hour or in the refrigerator up to 24 hours; turn bag occasionally.
2. Remove meat from marinade and place on the heated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 inches above heat for 6 minutes. Turn and broil 5 to 6 minutes more for rare or 7 to 8 minutes more for medium-rare. Season to taste. To serve, thinly slice diagonally across the grain. Serves 4 to 6.
3. Grill directions: Prepare and marinate steak as above. Grill marinated steak on an ungreased grill directly over medium coals for 6 minutes. Turn and grill to desired doneness, allowing 5 to 6 minutes more for rare or 7 to 8 minutes more for medium-rare. Continue as above.
