London Broil with Balsamic Sauce

Preheat your broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.

Salt and pepper the meat. Using a large skillet over low heat, mix the vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and the bay leaf. Simmer this until the liquid has reduced by half and is a syrupy, about 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.

Place your london broil on the baking sheet and cover it with the glaze. Broil the meat 4 inches from the heat about 4 to 5 minutes per side, longer for more done meat.

Place meat on a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the meat against the grain in thin slices and serve.

Tip: Mom always cracked the oven door open when using the broiler so the meat doesn’t burn.
