Things You'll Need:
- 1 to 2 pounds of lean steak, cut into thin strips (it might be labeled "London broil" at the store)
- Cast iron skillet to fit inside oven
- Oven
- 8 cup capacity bowl with lid
- 1 cup of your favorite steak marinade (or bottled Italian salad dressing)
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 package onion soup mix (if desired)
- Meat thermometer
- Oven mitts
-
Step 1
Place the meat into the 8-cup capacity bowl. Pour the marinade over it, cover and refrigerate overnight.
-
Step 2
The next day, remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade.
-
Step 3
Turn the oven broiler on "high."
-
Step 4
Put the olive oil on top of the marinated meat, and place the meat into the cast iron skillet.
-
Step 5
Place the pot into the oven under the broiler, 2 inches from the heat for two minutes.
-
Step 6
Remove the pan, flip the meat and return to the broiler for another two minutes, until the meat is browned on the outside.
-
Step 7
Sprinkle the onion soup mix on top of the meat and pour the beef broth over everything. Turn the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Step 8
Put the cast iron skillet into the oven to bake for another 15 to 20 minutes. You might have to add more water if the broth cooks off too much. There should be about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch of liquid in the bottom of the pan.
-
Step 9
Insert a meat thermometer into the meat to test the temperature. It should be at least 130 degrees for a medium-rare steak, 140 degrees for medium, 150 degrees for medium-well and at least 160 degrees for well-done.
-
Step 10
Remove the cast iron skillet from the oven, using the oven mitts, and let the meat rest for 10 minutes before serving.
