Grilled London Broil

I love me a delicious, juicy, grilled steak. Especialy when it's perfectly marinated. I normally don't score the meat like this recipe calls for but I have to say, this was probably the best marinaded london broil I've had (except for the PERFECT one my step-dad cooked in the middle of a freaking tornado!) and it probably was due to the scoring. So if you don't usually do it, I suggest you give it a try. This recipe was delish! I needed a quick side so we used our new handy-dandy french fry cutter and made some garlic fries to go with the meat. Don't worry, I had leftover stirfry veggies, too.

INGREDIENTS

1 (1½ to 2-pound) London Broil (should be about 1½ inches thick)

½ cup soy sauce (Substitute Braggs Liquid Aminos to make 21 Day Fix approved)

2 TBSP balsamic vinegar

2 TBSP ketchup (homemade recipe here)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1½ TBSP vegetable oil

1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary

1 tsp chopped fresh thyme

½ tsp dried rubbed sage

1½ tsp coarsely ground black pepper

1 tsp paprika

DIRECTIONS

1. Using a sharp knife, cut a ½-inch crosshatch pattern, ¼-inch deep, on both sides of steak.

2. Place in a 1 gallon ziptop bag.

3. Place remaining ingredients, EXCEPT black pepper and paprika, in a blender.

4. Process for 30 seconds and pour into ziptop bag with steak. Turn to coat steak and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours.

5. Turn all burners on a gas grill to high. Cover and let heat for 15 minutes.

6. Mix together black pepper and paprika.

7. Remove steak from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Season with pepper/paprika mixture.

8. Place London Broil on grill. Grill for 1 minute and then flip over. Continue to flip every minute until temperature reaches 125 degrees for medium rare or 130 degrees for medium. Total cooking time should be 5 to 9 minutes.

9. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
