London broil is a great, affordable way to serve steak to a crowd, and it’s nice and thick, which makes it our favorite cut for grilling or for a sandwich the next day. Or you can slice leftovers, throw them in a pan, and make the world’s best steak and eggs for breakfast. We brush the meat with balsamic vinegar, then broil it for a tangy-sweet glaze. You’ll be amazed how many compliments you can get from such a simple recipe.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 2
Season the meat with the salt and pepper.
Step 3
Combine the vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and bay leaf in a large skillet. Simmer over a low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half and is a syrupy consistency. Remove and discard the garlic and bay leaf.
Step 4
Place the meat on the prepared baking sheet and slather with the glaze. Broil, 4 inches from the heat, turning once, to desired doneness, 12 minutes for medium-rare, up to 14 minutes for medium. Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes, then slice very thinly, against the grain. Serve hot.
