Often confused with flank steak, London broil actually refers to a preparation style more than a specific cut of meat.
Our London broil comes from the top of the round primal, is the most flavorful of all the round steaks, and is extremely lean.
The traditional London broil is—you guessed it—treated to a marinade and then broiled. We recommend serving with a thick sauce or simple au jus.
