    slicing a smoked london broil

    A london broil, sometimes called a flank steak, is not a particularly revered cut of beef in the fancy pants world of steaks.

    After all, it's kind of lean, kind of tough, and not usually in the center of your butcher's display case alongside the ribeyes and filets.

    But today, we are going to show you how to take this mild mannered cut of beef from Clark Kent to Superman status!

    We are going to cover:

    • How to prepare your london broil for the smoker with a good rub and marinade
    • The best wood choices for a smoked london broil
    • How to set up different grills and smokers for a smoked london broil
    • What temperature to smoke your london broil
    • How to reverse sear your smoked london broil for the most delicious flavor and texture.
    • How to know precisely when your smoked london broil is finished
    • How to rest, slice, and serve your perfect smoked london broil.

    Wow, that's a lot...so let's jump in!

     

    What is a London Broil?

    Take a look at an anatomy chart of a steer, and you aren't likely to see the term 'London Broil" anywhere on it.

    That's because it actually comes from the Top Round section, which is found on the steer's lower hind quarters, or "flank", hence the term "flank steak" used interchangeably at times.

    "London Broil" is simply a marketing term likely developed by some meat purveyor many years ago trying to sell some of his lesser desired cuts of beef to the wine and cheese crowd.

    While you can technically broil a london broil start to finish, (like you can technically do with ANY type of steak), today we are going to have some fun and smoke this bad boy before we sear it.

     

    How to Prepare a London Broil for the Smoker

    Top Seasonings and Marinades for Smoked London Broil

    Because london broil is so naturally lean and tough, along with being relatively thin, it benefits from a good marinade before cooking to keep it from drying out on the grill or smoker.

    Generally this is done with a combination of oil and vinegar.  We prefer about ¼ cup vegetable oil and 2-3 tablespoon of either red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.

    marinating a london broil for the smoker

    Whisk the oil and vinegar together and pour over the london broil in a wide and shallow baking dish before applying your steak rub to both sides.

    If you are going for more traditional steak flavors, choose the red wine vinegar along with something like a Montreal Steak Seasoning.

    If you are going for more of BBQ flavor, choose the apple cider vinegar and then rub the steak with something like Bad Byron's Butt Rub.

    We are big fans of this rub for steaks and beef because it contains no sugar, which can easily burn during the reverse searing portion of the cook.

    Save your sugary rubs for the ribs and pork butts you will be smoking low and slow and less likely to burn.

     

    Salt and Marinate Overnight

    When you are preparing your london broil its best to season and marinate it at least 2 hours before smoking, preferably even overnight, before putting it on the smoker or grill.

    putting seasoning rub on london broil before smoking

    This allows the rub and marinade time to penetrate the meat, ensuring you have flavorful steak all the way to the center and not just salty on the exterior, and bland in the middle.

    Also, did you know that if the meat is fully salted throughout, it is chemically more able to hold onto is juices and retain more moisture during the cooking process?!

    This is why people brine turkeys and hams before cooking them.  Water and salt are buddies and once they find each other, it takes a lot of additional energy to break back them apart.

    Hence why the boiling point of saltwater is higher than that of pure water.

    We marinate the london broil for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, covered in a glass baking dish.

    This gives the salt loads of time to penetrate the meat and really flavor it all the way through.

    Pro Tip: Don't use aluminum baking pans or foil trays when working with vinegar marinades as the acid can interact with the metal and leave a sour taste on the meat. Stick with plastic or glass!

     

    Best Smoking Wood Choices for a London Broil

    For a big robust piece of beef like a smoked london broil, we'd recommend going with something like hickory or pecan that will stand out and also compliment the beef well.

    wood chips for an electric smoker

    If you want to keep it simple and straightforward, choose a lighter smoking wood like oak, apple, or peach, although these lighter fruitwoods may not impart as much smokey flavor into the beef as they will with chicken or fish.

    And if you want that distinct mesquite flavor, well, go with mesquite.

    You will only be smoking the london broil for about an hour so you don't have to worry about overdoing it by choosing too strong of a smoking wood.

    When in doubt, you can always mix and match your choices!

    Best Times and Temperatures for Smoking a London Broil

    You will need to watch both your cooking temperature and internal temperatures carefully when smoking the london broil.

     

    Smoker Temperature

    We recommend setting up the grill or smoker for indirect heat to cook at 275°F.

    thermo prop cooking temp probe reading 275 degrees

    This seems to be the sweet spot where its low enough that the outside doesn't overcook but also high enough that the london broil doesn't cook so long that it dries out.

     

    Target Internal Temperature for London Broil

    You HAVE to use a good instant read meat thermometer to know where the internal temperature is of your smoked london broil.

    internal meat probe reading 110 degrees

    Remember there is not much fat on this cut of beef so if you over cook it even by a little bit it will dry out FAST!

    If your london broil is thick enough, you want a good leave in probe thermometer like the Thermopro as well as a second instant read to spot check as you get close to pulling it off the smoker.

    While we have used and recommended ThermoPro for years, lately we have also become big fans of the MEATER leave in thermometer.

    It is extremely accurate and has an incredible 165 foot bluetooth range and works right with your smartphone so you don't need to carry a separate controller around with you like many other remote thermometers require.

    It's got a great free app that is constantly being updated and even has an algorithm to predict how much longer your type of meat will take to cook based on cooking temperature, target temperature, current internal temperature.

    It's like a GPS for your meat!

    • ► Connectivity Suite: Monitor your cook from a phone or tablet over Bluetooth. Extend your range Using MEATER Link WiFi and MEATER Cloud to use Alexa and monitor your cook from a computer.

    Anyways, back to our smoked london broil...

    We are going to slowly bring the internal temperature up to about 110°F, then crank the heat as hot as we can to reverse sear the london broil on each side for about 2-3 minutes. Then will continue cooking indirectly until it reaches 130°F and then remove it from the smoker.

    Believe it or not, tougher steaks like london broil taste better when cooked to medium vs medium rare.  This is because they can remain unpleasantly chewy if not cooked up to the proper temperature.

    You will notice most flank steak cooked for tacos and fajitas, is cooked to at least medium or medium well so that it is not too chewy or unappetizing.

    By marinating, letting the meat rest, and slicing against the grain, it will still be very tender and juicy!

     

    Monitor your Temperature

    You can't do all this without accurate thermometers.  There is very little room for error when smoking a london broil.

    We are particular fans of this one from ThermoPro because of its durability and affordable price.

    Everyone from beginner smokers to competition cooks need to use instant thermometers to consistently make great food.

    So keep it handy and use it often!

    How Long Does it Take to Smoke a London Broil?

    Most store bought London Broils will be in the 2-3 lb range and will take about 60 to 90 minutes to cook using this method.

    If it is humid outside, or you crank the heat higher than 275°F, you can count on it cooking faster.

    Use that instant read thermometer often.

     

    Reverse Sear Method

    "Reverse Searing" is just a fancy term for searing your meat at the very end, once it is pretty much all the way cooked through, in order to get a nice crispy exterior crust that you just can't get from low and slow smoking alone.

    a ribeye steak being reverse seared after smoking

    We've previously shown how reverse searing works great on lamb chops, as well as a whole smoked rack of lamb reverse seared with a blow torch!

    This works great for thick cuts of meat like london broil that need time to slow cook and absorb smokey flavor but then benefit from a nice outside sear.

    With larger cuts of meat like hams and pork butts, they will develop a nice exterior crust naturally just due to the long length of time they spend in the smoker.

    Much like our smoked ribeye steaks, we like to smoke and then reverse sear our london broil, simply by moving it over to the hot part of the grill or finishing it inside under the broiler.

    If you are using a pellet grill and finding it hard to get that high direct heat for searing, try laying a couple of Grill Grates over a section of the grill.  These work great for creating a hot searing stations on a pellet grill suing the ambient heat the pellet grill is already creating.  See the pellet grill section below for more details.

    • GET KILLER SEAR MARKS ON YOUR PELLET GRILL: GrillGrates concentrate and amplify the heat of your pellet grill allowing you to actually grill and not bake on your pellet grill.
    Check Price on Amazon

    Technically you can reverse sear in a hot pan with butter, a flat top grill with oil, or over a hot propane burner or searing hot batch of charcoal on any grill.

    We just find with a large cut of beef like a smoked london broil it's easier to keep it on the grill or if using a low temperature smoker, throw it under the broiler.

    In order to reverse sear a london broil without overcooking it, only bring your internal temperature up to about 100-110°F on an internal meat thermometer.  Then immediately sear it hot and fast for about 2-3 minutes on each side.

    Then check your temperature again and place the meat back in the smoker or on the indirect side of the grill until the internal temperature hits 130°F.

     

    No Reverse Sear

    Sometimes, like with the smoked  rack of lamb, we can go either way on whether to bother with a the reverse sear.  Sometimes just smoking the meat up to the right temperature works well enough by itself.

    Not so much with steaks.

    You really need to reverse sear them. 

    It doesn't matter which method you choose, but just smoking the steaks low and slow until they are finished is not an ideal way to cook them.

    You won't ever get that sizzling exterior crust or beautiful brown coloring form the maillard reaction that takes place at high heat.

    Your thicker exterior fat will never render and the meat will remain an unappetizing gray color.

    So take the extra 5 minutes, whether it's over a hot grill burner, over some charcoal, or right nder the broiler in the oven, and sear that smoked london broil to finish it off.

    You'll be glad you did.

     

     

    Setting up your Smoker for a Smoked London Broil

    Vertical or Offset Charcoal Smoker

    Weber 22-inch Smokey Mountain Cooker, Charcoal Smoker
    The Weber Smokey Mountain is a CLASSIC Charcoal Smoker.
    See the Weber Smokey Mountain on Amazon

    Fill your firebox or lower charcoal basin with about ¼ a bag of unlit charcoal and create a small hollowed out depression in the center where you can add your lit briquets.

    If your smoker comes with a water pan, like the Weber Smokey Mountain, fill the water pan as well to help stabilize the temperature and add moisture to the cooking chamber.

    Light a charcoal chimney about ⅓ way with charcoal and wait about 20 minutes for it to fully ignite.  You don't want TOO many lit briquests initially or the temperature will get too high too fast and be unmanageable.

    Fill your water pan first, then add the lit briquets to the center depression you created.

    Keep the dampers about ½ way to ¾ open until the temperature is to about 225 deg F.  Then slowly close them down until you are maintaining a temperature of 275°F.

    This will obviously take longer on a cold winter day than a hot summer one.

    Add 1-2 chunks of smoking wood once the smoker is up to temperature and put your london broil on the cooking grate.

    Electric Smoker

    See the Masterbullt Electric on Amazon

    Plug your electric smoker in and turn the temperature to 275° F.

    While it comes up to temperature, add smoking wood chips, not pellets, to the smoking wood tray.

    Fill the water tray if there is one.

    Close the door.

    Pellet Grill

    Fill the pellet hopper with your choice of smoking wood pellets.

    Plug in the pellet grill and run it through its start up process.

    Once it is creating smoke, turn the temperature to 275° F.

    When the pellet grill has come up to temperature, place your london broil on the grill grates.

    Getting a Sear on a Pellet Grill

    Pellet Grills work great for smoking large cuts of meat like brisket, pork butt, and ribs, and maintaining a near perfect consistent air temperature, much like the best competition smokers promise to do.

    The downside is their ability to sear at high heat like you would over direct coals or a propane gas burner.

    In order to get the best of both worlds, we recommend coupling some Grill Grates with your pellet grill.

    Grill Grates are specialty...well...grates that sit right over the existing grates on your pellet grill that help capture and direct all that ambient heat and give you a nice searing station in the corner of your pellet grill.

    15

    They claim to get temperatures up to 200°F HIGHER than the temperature you set your pellet grill, meaning even if your nice Trager only goes up to 400°F on the control panel, you can still sear some steaks, pork chops, or chicken at 600°F at the beginning or end of the cook to give them a nice sear.

    Make sure to measure the size of your current grilling area.

    While you absolutely CAN cover your entire pellet grill with Grill Grates, like if you were doing a batch of burgers for a big party, in our case we only want to cover PART of the pellet grill, maybe ⅓ to ½ of the cooking area for our pellet grill smoked London Broil.

    On a charcoal grill you can use wood chunks just like you would in a charcoal smoker.

    On a gas grill you will likely need to use a smoker box filled with wood chips, or a pellet tube smoker filled with wood pellets.

    Think you need a fancy smoker to smoke food at home?  Think again. Great smoked food can be made right on your current gas or charcoal grill.

    Check out our Ultimate Guide to Smoking on a Gas Grill HERE.

    If you are unfamiliar with these gas grill smoking devices mentioned above, no worries, we have you covered!

    Read everything you need to know about smoker boxes here, and see a selection of our favorite pellet tube smokers here.

    In the case of a smoked london broil, we would opt for the pellet tube smoker since it will provide you with a longer smoking time without needing to refill multiple times like a smoker box.

    However either one will work just fine depending on what you have available.

    Set up your gas or charcoal grill for indirect cooking with the burners or a small amount of lit briquets on one side and plan for your meat to be on the other side.

    Once the temperature of your grill is about 275° F, place your wood chunks, smoker box, or pellet tube smoker over the coals or lit burners and once smoke begins coming out, place your meat on the opposite side.

    How to Carve and Serve a Smoked London Broil

    Resting the Meat

    After reverse searing and then bringing the internal temperature up to 130°F, you will then remove the smoked london broil from the  smoker, grill, or broiler and let it rest.

    a london broil finished smoking

    NO NEED to tent loosely with foil or any other nonsense or it will overcook from its own residual heat.

    Put it on a large plate or cutting board and "Fugget About It" for 15 minutes!  Get the veggies and sides ready or pour some drinks.

    Let the smoked london broil rest for at least this long before carving.

     

    Carving the Smoked London Broil

    Use a good meat slicing knife and cut the smoked london broil in nice THIN strips, on a bias, against the grain.

    Here's a great tutorial if you need to educate yourself on this.  Its a MUST with carving large steaks like London Broil.

    You didn't come this far just to cut it the wrong direction and leave your guests chewing each bite for minutes on end!

    Using a good knife will also make life so much simpler. We particularly like this meat slicing knife from Mairico.
