    • London broil lives in our collective imagination, but there is really no such thing on a steer. That is to say that "London broil" refers to a method of grilling and carving a thick steak, not to a particular cut of meat. The steaks used tend to be tough and flavorful, such thick cuts like top round or bottom round, or even teh thinner cut, flank steak. The genius of the London broil lies in the way you carve it: sharply on the diagonal to minimize the length of the tough meat fibers. This makes a tough cut tender, and it gives you broad meaty slices that are charred on the outside, delectably rare on the inside, and that look drop-dead delicious carpeting your plate.

    Ingredients

    Serves:

    Directions

    Prepare the marinade: Place the ginger, onion, garlic and cilantro in a food processor and process until a smooth paste forms. Add the wine, soy sauce, oil, and pepper and process to combine.

    Place the steak in a baking dish just large enough to hold it and spread the marinade over it. Let marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 4 hours, ideally 6 hours, or even overnight (12 hours) if time permits, turning the steak a few times.

    Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Remove the steak from the marinade and drain well. Place the steak on the hot grate and grill until cooked to taste, 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare, 2 minutes more per side for medium, rotating the steak 90 degrees after three minutes if a crosshatch of grill marks is desired. (This is not absolutely essential, as the steak will be carved for serving, but the perfectionist in you may want to do it anyway.)

    Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Using a sharp knife, carve it into broad thin slices, hold the knife blade at a 45 degree angle to the top of the meat. Serve at once.
