The Backstory: When I was cooking for my family of four, I would often turn to this meat as a safe dish to make. It’s easy and was always a wiinner. My family enjoyed it and so did whomever was at my table when I barbecued it. More of the Backstory after the recipe…

…The Backstory continues: My son and I are beef lovers. The rest of the family, not so much but they managed to indulge their mom. That is why I always wanted other people around to enjoy it as much as my son and I did. This London Broil is also budget-friendly. Oh, I know what you are probably thinking, “How could steak be economical?” Well, sliced thin and served with different side dishes it can be.
For an easy menu, try serving potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, and some rolls. With so much to eat, the meat will not dominate the plate.
I usually barbecued from the middle of March to the end of November. Sometimes it was cold out and other times it was so hot, but weather did not deter me from firing up the grill. This can also be made indoors using an electric grill or a stove top grill pan, or even in the oven. Try it. I hope you enjoy it as much as my Sonnyboy and I did.
