Ingredients
- 1 (3-pound) London broil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 1 garlic clove, smashed and peeled
- 1 bay leaf
Directions
Preheat the broiler and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
Season the meat with the salt and pepper. In a large skillet over low heat, combine the vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and bay leaf. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half and is a syrupy consistency, about 5 minutes. Discard the garlic and bay leaf.
Put the meat on the baking sheet and slather it with the glaze. Broil the meat 4 inches from the heat until it reaches the desired level of doneness, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the broiler to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the meat against the grain and transfer it to a serving platter.
Cook's Note: When using the broiler, crack the oven door open so the meat does not burn.

Excellent Dish. I made the glaze and placed it on the meat as a marinade. Left it on for an hour and then barbecued the meat. It was fabulous! My husband couldn't stop eating it. Thanks Paula and Jamie for the great recipe.

This was so good! Made it for my boyfriend for his birthday and he said it was much better than my mom's London Broil!
But I had to make three small adjustments based on previous reviews....
First- I did marinate the flank steak I bought for about 2 hours prior to Broiling. I just made a simple marinade of Balsamic and Brown sugar about 1:1 ratio.
Second- The cooking time. I bought only a 1.6lb peice of steak and Broiled it for 7 minutes on each side with the door open. This came out perfectly medium.
Third- I cooked it on a broiling pan. Not sure why the recipe called for a baking sheet but this prevented it from smoking when the glaze was dripping.
Hope everyone else enjoys this as much as we did!
