Pound the steak on both sides with the fluted side of a meat mallet.
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine garlic, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, brown sugar, thyme, oregano, freshly ground black pepper, and kosher salt. Add steak; Seal and store in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, turning several times.
Remove the steak from the bag and discard the marinade.Dry completely with paper towels. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and place a heavy skillet upside down to weigh it down and sear it. Cook for about 6-7 minutes. Flip the other side and brown for about 5 minutes. Place the pan on top.Place on a cutting board. Cover with a loose foil tent; Let stand for 10 minutes. Using a sharp knife, cut into thin slices against the grain. Serve immediately.

NOTES

If this cut of beef is not available, you can substitute it with flank steak.Don’t skip the step of tenderizing with a meat mallet as it makes a measurable difference.
Save a plate and mix the marinade ingredients in a large resealable bag.
Marinate the steak for a maximum of 12-24 hours. This makes the meat more tender and the marinade makes it really tasty.
Boil some baby potatoes and cook them in a little canola oil in the same pan you will use to fry the fillets.Place them in the warm oven while you prepare the meat. They are a delicious side dish.
This particular cut is best served medium rare to medium rare (130-135 degrees). Cooking it for too long makes it dry and tough. Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper cooking temperature.Let it rest for 10 minutes, loosely covered with a tent of aluminum foil. This allows the juice to distribute throughout the meat.
If you prefer to grill it, preheat the grill to 450 degrees. Sear each side for 5-6 minutes until an internal temperature of 135 degrees or medium heat is reached. Don’t forget to let it rest covered with aluminum foil for about 10 minutes.To cook under the broiler, place the London Broil on a foil-lined baking sheet and place under the broiler on high for about 6 minutes. Then turn and roast for another 6 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Cut against the grain with a sharp knife. I like to use my German knife, but you can also use a chef’s knife or a carving knife.Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
