My newly married daughter in Baltimore often calls me here in Jerusalem looking for recipes she remembers me making often. For many reasons, one of our family favorites was always this London Broil Recipe. As a busy wife and mother, I liked this recipe because of its easy preparation and its successful reinvention in economical Planned Over* fajitas and stir fries. My kids loved Planned Over London Broil tossed with roasted green beans from Shabbos and sliced sun dried tomatoes from a jar. (what could be easier?) And my husband? Well he is just so happy to have meat during the week!
A London Broil is a method of preparation, so named because quick cooking using very high heat from the broiler is the surest way to achieve a delicious result. It is a suitable replacement for any recipe using flank steak, which is not a kosher cut. Most London Broil cuts are from the shoulder and weigh two to four pounds. There is very little shrinkage, making it a relatively economical choice.
