Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 London Broil (about 1.5 to 2 pounds)
  • 1 (16-ounce) bottle Catalina Dressing
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: Prick the London Broil on both sides with a fork to allow the marinade to penetrate the meat deeply. Combine the London Broil and the entire bottle of Catalina Dressing in a large zip-top bag. Seal the bag and turn it to coat the meat evenly in the dressing. Refrigerate and marinate for 12 to 24 hours to develop flavor and tenderize the beef.
  2. Preheat the Grill: About 15 minutes before grilling, heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it reaches the ideal temperature for grilling the meat evenly while achieving a good sear.
  3. Season the Meat: Remove the marinated London Broil from the bag and discard the marinade. Sprinkle both sides of the meat evenly with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to enhance the meat's natural flavor without overpowering it.
  4. Grill the London Broil: Place the London Broil on the preheated grill. Grill for 10 minutes on the first side without moving it, to develop a nice crust. Then flip the meat carefully and grill for an additional 8 to 10 minutes on the other side. Adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of your cut and your preferred level of doneness—medium-rare is often recommended for London Broil.

Notes

  • Marinating the meat for at least 12 hours is essential for tenderness and flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
  • Let the meat rest for 5–10 minutes after grilling before slicing against the grain to ensure juiciness.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop at medium-high heat as an alternative cooking method.
