london broil

while searching for recipes to cook the london broil i got on super special at the grocery store, i learned that london broil is not, in fact, a cut of meat, but instead is a way of preparing it. hmm, i guess the kroger butchers/meat packagers have not yet been so enlightened.

anywho, i googled and found this recipe from a site that i have never gotten recipes from before. it turned out ABSOULTELY DELICIOUS, without question the best dish of meat i have ever prepared! and the best part is that it is a paleo recipe! and, it was pretty simple (although i made donny cut it after because it's supposed to be sliced really thin and i really dislike cutting/slicing/chopping of any kind.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, oil, garlic, and rosemary, and Place the beef on a plate and poke both sides all over with a fork. Transfer to a plastic freezer bag and pour in the marinade. Seal and refrigerate overnight. 

Turn broil on high. Remove the London broil from the marinade and pat dry. Salt generously, and rub in the freshly ground black pepper, on both sides. Place on a broiler pan, or other oven-safe pan. Broil about 8 inches under the flame for approximately 6-7 minutes per side for medium rare - internal temp of 130 degrees F. 

Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil; let rest for 10 minutes. To serve, cut against the grain into very thin slices. Serve hot, topped with any juices from the plate on which it rested.
