London Broil, it's a steak and easy right...WRONG! I didn't realize they came in two cut types, one is a shoulder and one is a flank steak type. I got the flank steak version and proceeded to marinate it like a normal steak, brush on the marinade as it cooked on the grill...it came off tough as leather. Turns out it should have been soaked overnight in a vinegar style marinade and not for a few hours in a Worcestershire one. Of course it may have come out ok if I had used a longer worcester one though. That night we had to have green beans, potatoes and shoe leather. It was very embarrassing... the good news is, dog treats were cheap that week.
So the lesson is; If you make a London Broil, I suggest you like rare to medium rare meat, it comes out tenderest that way.
