Nathan and I accidentally bought some London Broil a couple of weeks ago instead of Round Steak (don't ask I dont know how he did it) Anyways, he's telling me I can roast it just like I would a pot roast. Does anyone know like the specifics or what not? On a 2 1/2 lb roast we do it at 325 for about an hour give or take i think. It's like 20-22 min per lb if I'm remembering right. All the recipies for london broil call for grilling or broiling (go figure, right?)
It is a REAL cheap cut of meat when on sale. Broiling produces a product resembling shoe leather, and the meat must not cook past m-rare. It is nearly fat-less and makes the best roast beef ever, but use the crock-pot, or slow roast it, sealed with water. I use the crock pot. Makes good taco shredded beef...
I make london broil a lot. My husband loves it. I hate it. I grill it, like kitty said, not passed medium well. I have a marinade that I use. I will go look for the recipe for the marinade and let you know. I made one in the oven once and it was not good. Since than, I've grilled.

I did actually just roast it at 425 for about an hour and a half or so. Even added the potatoes and carrots. Yummy, turned out beautiful. Nathan said while he was cutting it that it was like a knife through butter. I liked it better cooked as a pot roast then the reg. stuff we get for a pot roast! (Go figure, right?)
No, you are right. My girlfriend as a child had a mom that broiled that cut and served it with a sauce, so I was always confused by it, and never used it for roast. I got a big double slab of the stuff when it was $2. a lb. or less, thought...hmmm, wonder what this will do in a crockpot? I have kicked myself ever since, because it makes the best, cheapest, roast beef I have ever had. These days they are charging Wwaaaay too much for meat in the markets. I only buy whatever is cheap, but I won't buy anything not up to my standard, would rather eat vegetarian.
