London Broil
Buy a London Broil
Buy one package of Meat Marinade (McCormick Seasoning Mix)
Follow directions on the back of the marinade (except you can marinade the steak for hours in the fridge.)
Broil your meat, flipping it from one side to the next. I keep my pan on the second rack from the top when I broil so that it takes longer to cook and it doesn't burn to quickly. The meat may be a little blackened by the time the inside is cooked to medium rare.
