Marinated London Broil
Ingredients:
1 Wilders London Broil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 cups beef broth
1 cup dry red wine (optional)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for gravy, optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful herb paste.
Place the London Broil in a roasting pan with a rack. Pat it dry with paper towels.
Rub the herb paste evenly all over the surface of the roast, ensuring it's well coated.
Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the roasting pan. If desired, add the red wine for extra flavor.
Roast the London Broil in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
Remove the roast from the oven, cover it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender roast.
While the roast is resting, you can make a delicious gravy. Pour the pan drippings into a saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. If you want a thicker gravy, whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour until well combined, and then cook for a few minutes until it thickens. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Slice the rested roast thinly, and serve it with the flavorful pan gravy.
Enjoy your London Broil with Garlic-Herb Crust as the centerpiece of a hearty and satisfying meal.
