England is known for quite a few things around the world, but one of the most underappreciated is its mastery of beef. There’s something about the English weather that inspires the heartiest and tastiest cuts of beef with the most heartwarming flavor. London Steak puts all of this cultural knowledge on culinary display, with a thick cut of beef marinated in extra savory Worcestershire sauce and fragrant garlic, broiled to achieve a delicious golden-brown crust and a rosy, juicy interior. Then London Steak crowns itself the best steak of all with a crown of herb butter to add richness and flavor to every bite. No wonder it’s renowned worldwide… likewise, it will certainly become a legend at your table!
