One of my favorite dinners I made back in America was a London broil. For those who don't know what that it, its a very lean cut of steak that holds lots of flavor and juices when it is best served rare to medium rare. And I'm going to share with you my recipe to make this at home on a skillet without the need to broil.

First you buy the meat at a local deli. Typically I go by 1/2lb of meat per person so I would buy a 1lb of London broil from my local deli. The next step is to make the marinade. This is what makes the steak juicy and and flavorful.

What you will need is
- 4 garlic cloves finely sliced
- 1 tsp of salt (5 mL)
- 1/4 cup of dry red wine (60mL)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (60mL)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (15mL)
- 1 tsp of honey (5mL)

1. Place all the ingredients and the steak into a large zip lock bag and seal it. Place the bag into the fridge for 4 to 24 hours. Once the steak as been left in the marinade for at least 4 hours remove it and pat it dry with a paper towel.
2. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C)
3. Heat oil in the skillet and sear the steak to give it a nice brown crust. This will take about 3 min per side.
4. Move the steak to a backing pan (or leave it in the skillet if you used an iron skillet) and place it in the oven until the internal temperature is between 125°F-132°F (51°C - 55°C).
5. Remove and let it rest for 8 mins then slice thinly with the grain and serve.

I love to serve the steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus and pour the extra juice from the pan or skillet over them.
