Ok , so if you remember from Sunday, our hero(me) had cut that big honkin chunk of London broil in half and was threatening to marinate it in Italian dressing and cook it on the grill. Well , I did just that.

Marinated all day.... Came home and after a few chores and a brisk walk , got the fire ready.

The usual drill. Blazing hot fire little S&P threw on the meat.....

4 minutes to a side and flip,flip....blah blah blah

Took it off the fire at around 125 , if I can believe my crappy digital meat thermometer that takes about 3 days to tell you the temp of your meat....anybody else excited about the thermapen they're gettin for fadda's day?

Gave the meat a little rest....and sliced it up in best Wolfgang puck style.

This was excellent , but if I'm honest the marinade didn't do a lot for it. Which was surprising because I feel like it adds tons of flavor to tip steak. My theory is that this London broil cut is a denser piece of meat and it can't absorb the marinade as readily. Next time I'll pierce it a few times with the meat fork before it goes in the ziplock. And maybe marinate it overnightAND all the next day. Anyhow , this was tender and juicy as before so definitely worth cooking (and eating). You all have a good night.
 
I saw your other post Frank ...and now this one. I like your style. Live and learn on the marinade. Thanks for the info on London Broil to get the marinade to permiate the meat. You're gonna love the Thermapen. A bit pricey but I LOVE mine.
 
Thanks frank. As you know, I've been looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the marinade. Good stuff! Thanks!

funny thing; I said to the wife while we're eating " gee , I don't really feel like the marinade penetrated the meat very well" and she goes " yes , stud muffin , I agree" (i'm paraphrasing) maybe you should have used that needle gizmo you bought last year at the kitchen outlet" well , is my face red ! I bought a meat tenderizer that woulda been perfect....now I just gotta find it !

yeah , rolf. definitely gotta pierce that top round good to get the flavor into it....maybe even score the meat a bit? you know? slash it a little? make sense?
 
I musta missed round one butt this round two looks TERRIFIC Frank!!
I haven't had London broil in ages! might hafta fix that!
 
I got my thermapen for fathers day last year! I use it for everything down to taking the pool temp.
