A good friend in Canada called me today and said "What the heck is London Broil? The butchers here don't know what it is I am asking for." So I thought I had better clear it up for all of my non-american friends & family.
According to Wikipedia, London broil is a North American beef dish usually made by broiling or grilling marinated flank or round steak and then cutting it against the grain into thin strips.
So basically it is a thick flank or round steak (usually around 1 1/2 inches thick here) that weighs one to two pounds. They're available here everywhere and are usually on sale for pretty cheap, making it an attractive option for those of us trying to save our pennies. Sorry for any confusion! xo
