Easy Teriyaki London Broil Recipe with Garlic Herb Butter

London broil is a lean cut of beef, typically top round, that’s best cooked to medium-rare or medium (130–135°F) for maximum tenderness. When it goes on sale, it’s like grilling one big steak to feed the whole family. This versatile cut marinates beautifully and can be prepped ahead for easy dinners. I make this recipe three different ways depending on the weather and how much hands-on time I have, with similar cooking times and slight technique variations.
