Ingredients

  • 1.25 lbs London Broil
  • Fresh ginger approximately 1" piece
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt must be coarse grained KOSHER salt! Table salt will NOT work.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. This recipe works best with FROZEN ginger root. I buy the whole ginger root and stick it in the freezer, peel and all.
  2. Pat steak dry on both sides. Sprinkle each side with approximately a teaspoon of kosher salt. Use a grater to grate some ginger root over the steak. Pat it gently into the steak.
  3. Let steak stand 1 hour.
  4. Rinse steak thoroughly, and dry it completely. I always let mine stand on the broiler pan. If you've done this, be sure to rinse and dry the top of the pan, too.
  5. Once the steak is dry, repeat the ginger and sprinkle both sides with garlic powder. I rub the spices into the meat a little before cooking. DO NOT salt the steak again.
  6. Broil or grill to your desired doneness. We prefer rare to medium, as those temperatures create the juiciest steaks.
