A friend tried some Top round roast I made a few weeks ago and was totally in love with it. So he asked me if I would make one for him.

I told him, no problem. Buy the meat and I'll take care of the rest.

So he shows up with a London broil steak :-) .

After my initial mockery of him , I told him I'd be happy to make it into a winner.

I found a great thread by chili (one of so very many) and combined his marinade with Jeff's method (though I substituted the regular rub for the Texas beef rub) and the results were as follows.

However my friend likes his meat very well done and this I told him this I could not abide. If he wanted to take it home and nuke it to death, that was his business. But it wasn't leaving my house in such a sorry state.

Anyways. Here's the pics. I highly recommend. It changed my opinion of London broil. I actually liked it better than the top round I did. More flavor in every bite imho.

After the reverse sear. Still a touch overdone for me, but I wasn't the customer.

Them slices tho....

Can't complain for something that only took 90 mins in the smoker. I'll take it anyways. :emoji_metal:

Better than a kick in the shorts I always say.
 
Flank steak is actually what it is. London Broil is what all the retailers in the ignorant state of Michigan call it.

It's actually priced much different too. Flank steak is like 8.00/lb and "London Broil" is in the 4-5.00 range.
 
Looks pretty good to me.

Point for sure.
