Yesterday being Mothers Day, all of my kids and grand kids came over to be with their Mom. So I organized the breakfast to give my wife a break.

Since I had a lot of people to feed I grilled 3 London Broil roast and sliced them very thin before hand. I just keep it warm in the oven with the home fries that I previously cooked. Set the meal up buffet style. I cooked the eggs to order and everone helped themselves. The beef was a nice change from the traditional pork based breakfast.
 
What is a London Broil? Is it a brand or a style of cooking? I only ask cos the word broil is not an English word (thinking London as in from England here), its purely American for something like grilling - did you make a fried/traditional English breakfast?
 
Well this is interesting. It must be a location thing. All my life I heard mother refer to a "London Broil for dinner". So when I posted my orginial post I just ASSUMED that everyone would know what I was talking about. :)

I looked up London Broil in my wifes cookbook and lo and behold there was no London Broil listed in the cuts of beef. So I called my son who is a chef and a graduate of New England Culinary Institude. He said that it is a flank steak cut in half. While that is what a london broil looks like-- a flank steak cut in half. I did marinate them and cooked them as discribed in the website posted above.

In conclusion; if you take a cut of beef that is approx. 2" thick and 10-12" long--marinate it-- BBQ it--and slice it at a 45° angle. Then you have what I call "London Broil".

I wasn't going for an English theme but we did have English muffins also.
 
Sounds yummy to me, heck I always was have more of a lunch/dinner style meal in the morning vs. bacon and eggs.
And I too have always thought of a London Broil as a cut of meat.
