London broil on big green egg

London broil, is it a cut of beef or style of cooking? All I know is that it is delicious, especially when smoked in the Big Green Egg. This smoked roast recipe is so simple, even I can make it without f’ing it up too badly. The dry rub is a simple brown sugar and spice mixture, and the mushroom au jus-style sauce features a stout ale.

Should London Broil be cooked fast or slow?

Unlike broiling, cooking the meat in an oven is best done slowly over a few hours and at a temperature around 350 degrees Fahrenheit. You don't want the oven too hot or you'll end up with dry, chewy meat.

How hot should grill be for London Broil?

Preheat your grill to 450 degrees F for direct heat cooking. Sear the steak for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, rotating regularly, until the internal temperature reads 130-135 degrees F for medium rare. Remove the steaks from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving.

How long does it take to smoke a London Broil at 225?

To smoke London Broil to medium-rare, plan on a 45 minute cook time at 225 degrees F. If your meat is thinner or thicker than 1″, the time will adjust accordingly, obviously.

How long does it take to smoke a 2 lb London Broil?

Smoke for approximately 30 minutes per pound until you achieve and internal temperature of between 125°F and 145°F. And, always rest the beef before you slice it so that the juices can be reabsorbed by the muscle. I recommend smoking two 2-1/2 pound London broil cuts at once.
