Balsamic Glazed London Broil

• 1 (3-pound) London broil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
• 1 garlic clove, smashed and peeled
• 1 bay leaf

1. Preheat the broiler and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
2. Season the meat with the salt and pepper.
3. In a large skillet over low heat, combine the vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and bay leaf.
4. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half and is a syrupy consistency, about 5 minutes.
5. Discard the garlic and bay leaf.
6. Put the meat on the baking sheet and slather it with the glaze.
7. Broil the meat 4 inches from the heat until it reaches the desired level of doneness, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
8. Remove from the broiler to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
9. Thinly slice the meat against the grain and transfer it to a serving platter.
10. Cook's Note: When using the broiler, crack the oven door open so the meat does not burn.
