London broil
Sliced grilled beef
London broil is a method of preparing beef by marinating a lean cut, broiling or grilling it at high heat, and slicing it thinly against the grain.
The term also refers to the finished dish or to cuts of beef—typically flank steak or top round—sold for this purpose: I'm marinating a London broil for the cookout.
Despite the name, it's an American invention with no clear connection to London.
