Ingredients
- 1 lb London broil
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Ensure the London broil is thawed if previously frozen and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, combine the jerk seasoning, soy sauce, and olive oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Place the London broil in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated. If using a bag, seal it and massage the marinade into the meat. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
- Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat. If using a grill, make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill is hot, remove the London broil from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Season both sides with salt to taste.
- Place the London broil on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your meat more well-done. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 130-135°F for medium-rare.
- Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the London broil from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.
- After resting, slice the London broil against the grain into thin strips. This will ensure tenderness in each bite.
- Serve the sliced London broil with your choice of sides, such as rice and peas, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your delicious Sonoma Jerk London Broil!
Tips
- Marination is Key: For maximum flavor, try to marinate the meat for at least 2 hours, or even overnight if possible. This allows the jerk seasoning to deeply penetrate the meat.
- Temperature Matters: Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F.
- Resting is Crucial: Always let the meat rest for 5 minutes after cooking. This helps redistribute the juices, ensuring a moist and tender result.
- Slice Against the Grain: When cutting the London broil, always slice against the grain to guarantee the most tender, easy-to-chew pieces.
- Enhance the Flavor: Consider serving with traditional Caribbean sides like rice and peas or grilled plantains to complete the authentic experience.
- Customize the Spice: Adjust the amount of jerk seasoning to suit your heat tolerance. More seasoning means more kick!
