I plan to try this and I’ll review the results. However … Note to others … Flank Steak and London Broil are two completely different cuts. Flank Steak is sometimes referred to as Skirt Steak and London Broil is the Top Round cut. Very different parts of the animal with different textures and cooking requirements.
