London Broil (Moist and Tender!)

This is sincerely, the BEST way to prepare London Broil if you want a juicy and tender meat that tastes expensive but is actually budget friendly!

London Broil (Moist and Tender!)

Ingredients: Cut of London Broil, 3 tbs butter, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, Kosher Salt (Or coarse sea salt), pepper.

Note: Do not cut or puncture the meat at any point until you are done cooking it and it has rested for at least 5-7 minutes.

Directions: 
1.) Generously salt the london broil on both sides. Pat the salt in and let it sit on a plate for 1 hour (The rule was an hour for every inch thick the meat is).

2.) After the time is up, rinse the meat under water to remove the excess salt. (The meat has absorbed all the salt you need)

3.) Pour the vegetable oil into a skillet (cast iron is the best) and heat til the meat sizzles when it touches the pan. (I tested a teeny tiny corner) While it is heating add a generous amount of pepper (It creates the flavorful crust).

4.) Drop the london broil in and time it for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, flip it and time this side for 6 minutes. After 6 minutes add the butter. The butter will melt fairly quickly so tip the pan towards you carefully and spoon the butter/oil over the meat. After another minute, use tongs to grab the meat, tilt the pan away from you and sear the side/fat of the meat. Spoon the butter/oil over one more time and then take the steak out and let it sit for 5-7 minutes.

5.) Slice diagonally and enjoy!

THE SIDE SALAD
Ok, I know the side salad looks weak.  In fact it looks like something you can get from a high school cafeteria.  BUT LET ME TELL YOU, this salad is SO freaking good.  It's called the Endless Summer Salad and it has this seasoning packet inside that makes it something people will ask you about.  I guarantee it.  CLICK HERE to get more info on this bad boy salad.
