💡 What's interesting

The name 'London Broil' is a bit of a misnomer, as the technique is more American than British. Nutritionally, its preparation method (marinating and quick grilling) helps preserve the meat's lean protein while minimizing the formation of certain compounds associated with longer cooking methods.
