Ingredients:
For the London Broil:
- 1 London Broil (about 1.5-2 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Onion Gravy:
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Marinate the London Broil:
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the London Broil. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or longer if time allows.
2. Preheat the Grill or Broiler:
- Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
3. Grill the London Broil:
- Grill the marinated London Broil for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness. Remember that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the meat and the heat of your grill or broiler.
4. Rest the Meat:
- Once done, remove the London Broil from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat juicy and tender.
5. Make the Onion Gravy:
- While the meat is resting, prepare the onion gravy. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized and golden brown, which takes about 15-20 minutes.
6. Thicken the Gravy:
- Sprinkle the flour over the caramelized onions and cook, stirring, for about 2-3 minutes. This will help thicken the gravy.
7. Add Broth and Worcestershire:
- Gradually add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet, stirring constantly. Simmer for a few more minutes until the gravy thickens and the flavors meld. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
8. Slice and Serve:
- Slice the rested London Broil against the grain into thin strips. Serve the slices with the onion gravy drizzled on top.
Cooking Time: The cooking time for the London Broil on the grill or broiler may vary depending on your preferred level of doneness, but it typically takes around 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Serving Size: This recipe serves approximately 4 people.
