Honey balances the amount of salt present in the dish and makes the meat more tender and soft. A must try recipe during the weekends or when you have got friends coming over to your place.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ pounds London Broil
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tsp Honey
• ¼ cup Dry Red Wine
• ¼ cup Balsamic Vinegar

1. Take a mortar and pestle and mince the garlic roughly in it. Add in the salt and mince some more. Transfer the minced garlic mixture into a clean bowl.
2. Mix together the garlic mixture, soy sauce, honey, dry red wine and the balsamic vinegar. You can use a stick blender or even a regular blender for this purpose as we want our ingredients to be thoroughly mixed together.
3. Take a Ziploc bag and place the meat in it. Pour in the sauces mixture and seal the bag. Make sure that the mixture spreads evenly in the bag, so that every part of the meat is covered with it. Even out the bag with the help of your end or even a rolling pin so that no excess air is left inside of it.
4. Place the marinade into the fridge, preferably in a deep baking dish. It is ideal to marinate the meat for at least 4 hours, so that all the juices are combined with the meat in a proper manner.
5. While the marinade is chilling, it is important to change its sides after every 30 minutes or so for the prepared product to be full of flavor and tenderness.
6. Take out the beef from the refrigerator and let it come down to the room temperature. This is a very important step in its preparation as otherwise there is a high chance that your meat will not get cooked properly from the inside.

Cook the beef (or steak as you may like to call it) for 9 to 10 minutes on each side. This will give you a medium rare done steak. You can increase or decrease the cooking time of the beef according to your own preference as well.
8. Transfer the steak onto a flat surface or a cutting board and cut it into thin strips serve with a freshly prepared salad or sun dried tomatoes.
