London Broil

This is a favorite recipe from the Iowa Beef Industry Council.

1 (1 1/4 to 1 3/4 pound) beef flank steak
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Combine vegetable oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper for marinade. Place steak in plastic bag and pour marinade over it. Close bag securely and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

Pour off and reserve marinade. Place steak on grill and broil at moderate temperature for 5 minutes. Turn, brush with marinade and broil 5 minutes or to desired doneness (rare or medium).

To carve, slice diagonally across grain in thin strips.

Makes 4 servings.
