I started making London Broil long before I had an Instant Pot.

We prefer a medium rare, teriyaki version, and two pounds of deliciousness was gone in a matter of minutes when I had three teenage boys.

These days, we get leftovers from a 2 pound round steak because my older two boys have moved out and started their adult lives.

I still buy the bigger cut, because who doesn’t love a recipe that serves you more than one meal?

What is London broil?

Did you know that London Broil is a preparation of thick cut round steak?

If not, now you do so let’s talk about that.

Round steak comes from the rear leg of the cow.

It is divided into cuts that include the eye round, bottom round, and top round, with or without the “round” bone.

You can learn much more about beef cuts on Food.com.

Round steak is a moderately tough cut which doesn’t lend itself to grilling or other “dry” cooking methods.

That makes it perfect for the Instant Pot, as long as you know what you’re doing.

If not, you’ll end up with an inedible meat brick.

Not pretty.

So how do you avoid a meat brick?

It starts with marinating,

The best Teriyaki beef marinade

Our favorite marinade is Soy Vay, and our favorite is Hoisin Garlic.

If you’re someone who plans ahead, you can purchase a few round steaks and freeze them in the marinade, which makes it so easy and simple when you’e ready to cook them.

As the frozen marinade thaws, it infuses the round steak with all of its yumminess.

You can even cook a partially frozen round steak in your Instant pot for a more rare piece of meat.

And finally, if you’re lucky enough to have a few leftovers, you can re-purpose that lovely meat into an amazing Asian taco by adding a bit of Kimchi and Sriracha mayo or make a delicious beef fried rice.

How to choose the right cut of round steak

When you buy round steak in the store, it is usually 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

That is great for Swiss steak, but not for London Broil.

Some stores sell a London broil cut that is thicker, but if you want the best cut, go to your local butcher.

They can cut a piece of round steak whatever thickness you choose.

I recommend a 2 inch thick piece for this recipe.

I know it looks huge, but it will cook to a delicious medium to medium rare, and you will love it.
