💡 What's interesting

The name 'London Broil' is a bit of a misnomer, as it has no direct origin in London but is a distinctly North American preparation. Nutritionally, it's a great example of how marinating and proper slicing can transform a tougher, more affordable cut of meat into a tender and flavorful centerpiece.
