Ingredients

Units Scale
For the London Broil:
  • 2 pounds London Broil (top round or flank steak)
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the potatoes:
  • 1 1/2 pounds French fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. Marinate the London Broil (8 hours or overnight): In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper. Place the London Broil in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the meat. Seal the bag, ensuring the meat is well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
  2. Preheat the oven and prepare the potatoes (10 minutes): Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved fingerling potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and rosemary sprigs in a roasting pan.
  3. Roast the potatoes (40 minutes): Place the roasting pan in the oven and roast the potatoes for about 40 minutes, or until they are golden and tender, stirring halfway through cooking.
  4. Broil the London Broil (10 minutes for cooking, 10 minutes for resting): Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on a broiler pan. Preheat the broiler. Broil the steak about 4-5 inches from the heat source for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  5. Serve (5 minutes): Slice the London Broil thinly against the grain. Serve with the roasted French fingerling potatoes. Garnish with additional rosemary sprigs if desired.

Notes

This dish is both easy to prepare and incredibly satisfying. Marinating the meat is crucial for achieving a tender and flavorful steak, so don’t skip this step.

The potatoes, with their crisp exterior and soft interior, complement the meat perfectly. For a complete meal, consider adding a green salad or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!

Easy Dinner Rolls

Start by combining warm water, yeast, and a bit of sugar in a bowl, letting it sit until it's frothy. In a larger bowl, mix together softened butter, salt, the rest of your sugar, and some milk. Slowly add in flour, mixing until you have a soft dough. Knead this dough on a floured surface until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size. Once risen, divide the dough into small balls and arrange them on a baking tray. Let them rise again briefly. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown. Brush with melted butter right out of the oven for a glossy finish.

Green Beans with Almonds

Begin by trimming the ends of your fresh green beans. Bring a pot of water to a boil, toss in the beans, and blanch them for just a few minutes until they're bright green and slightly tender. Drain them and dunk in cold water to stop the cooking process and retain their vibrant color. On the side, toast some roughly chopped almonds in a dry skillet until they're golden and fragrant. In the same skillet, add a touch of olive oil or butter, and sauté the green beans briefly to warm them up. Toss in the toasted almonds, give everything a good stir, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Simple Green Salad

Begin by selecting crisp lettuce leaves, giving them a thorough wash and a gentle pat dry. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them as the foundation of your salad. Next, slice ripe tomatoes, their juicy segments promising a burst of sweetness. Add these to the lettuce, their vibrant red contrasting beautifully against the green. For a refreshing crunch, slice a cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, layering them amongst the other ingredients. For dressing, a light drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice will enhance the salad's natural flavors without overshadowing them. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and any herbs of your choosing.
