How should I cook a London broil?

Broil or grill it hot and fast to medium-rare, then rest it and slice thin against the grain. Longer cooking makes top round tough.

Should I marinate it?

Yes. The lean top round benefits from a few hours in an acidic marinade, which adds flavor and helps tenderness.

How many people does it serve?

The cut ranges roughly from 1 to 2.4 pounds, so a larger piece feeds a family with leftovers for sandwiches.

Is it a tender steak?

No. Top round is lean and firm, so it depends on thin slicing against the grain rather than marbling for tenderness.

It is lean and provides about 25g of protein and a good source of iron per serving.

Our take on the London Broil Roast, Choice Angus Beef, 1 per Tray, Fresh

This is a fresh London Broil cut about 1½ inches thick from USDA Choice Angus top round. Top round is lean and firm, so it takes marinades well and is best cooked hot and fast in a broiler or on a grill, then sliced thin against the grain. It carries about 25g of protein and is a good source of iron per serving. It suits shoppers who want a large, economical roast for feeding a family rather than a tender, well-marbled steak.
