Marinated London Broil

From Cooking Light



Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (2-pound) boneless top round steak, trimmed
Cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Pierce steak with a fork. Add steak to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 2 hours, turning every 30 minutes.

2. Preheat broiler.

3. Remove steak from bag; discard marinade. Scrape shallots and garlic from steak; discard shallots and garlic. Place steak on broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle steak evenly with salt and pepper. Broil 4 inches from heat for 6 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

I had vacation this afternoon (and all next week - woo!) so I had the time to marinate this for two hours, turning every half hour. I cooked it 6 minutes each side on the high broil setting and this is how it came out. A little under-done for my tastes (I'm a "no red, absolutely no chance of my food moo-ing at me" kind of girl) but Adam liked it. He was more taken by the cornbread stuffing. Yes, Stove Top, but we'd never had the cornbread stuff. I think I probably picked up a box by mistake, but he is now insisting we get more. *sigh*
