You can find London broil meat as anything from thin steaks to thick roasts that come from the beef's sirloin or round sections.

Remember, London broil is meant to be served medium-rare. If you overcook the meat, it will make your final product tough — no matter how much time you dedicated to marinating.

Once you've cooked your steak, take it off the grill and cover the meat with foil. Let the steak rest around five minutes if you have a thinner cut and 10 minutes if you have a thicker, whole roast. When you let the meat rest, the meat can relax, so juices flow back into it. Finally, carve meat across the grain so you can serve in thin strips, which delivers maximum tenderness.
