Ingredients

2 cups tomato juice

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

3 tablespoons prepared commercial horseradish

3 tablespoons dry sherry

2 teaspoons crumbled dried marjoram

1 teaspoon crumbled dried basil

1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

3 1/2 pounds London broil, about 1 1/2 inches thick, trimmed

Vegetable-oil cooking spray

Coarse salt

Preparation

Stir together tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, sherry, marjoram, basil, and pepper in a small bowl.

Place steak flat in a glass or ceramic dish. Spoon the tomato-juice mixture over the meat, spreading to cover. Turn the meat to coat the other side. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or set aside at room temperature for no longer than 30 minutes.

Prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable-oil cooking spray. The coals should be moderately hot to hot.

Lift the meat from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Grill the steak for 8 minutes. Turn the steak, and grill for 7 to 10 minutes, longer for medium-rare.

Let the steak rest at room temperature for about 5 minutes before slicing on the diagonal into thin strips. Salt to taste.
