stay tuned to see if I can pull this off or muck it up!!

    Looks like you have a great plan in play here. 
    Cook to medium rare and slice thin across the grain on a bias. All set from there.

    Ok so I got the large up to 425 and put the corn on which is always good image Seared the meat at 650 on the small and brought in to hang out a bit image And plated up with a fresh salad image The meat had a great taste and was very tender, but I personally would rather have a Ribeye that is done in half the time I spent on this chunk O meat. Maybe I did it wrong and should've just went 600 raised direct and flipped a bunch but next time my $$$ are goin on another cut of beef. If I am missing out here please point me in the right direction.

    Good catch and when i look at the recipe to answer your question it is Argentine. I think that Chimichuri originated in Argentina. Me feels pretty stupid at the moment about the misinfo.

    That sounds right, although there are a ton of variations on chimichurri.  Mint-based, basil-based, parsley-based, cilantro....  And any combination.  Pretty much any green sauce with a ton of herbs can be called a chimichurri (and they are all pretty much awesome).

    I was just wondering if there was something distinct about "lebanese" since most of them are given spanish derivations.

    No matter, though, your cook looks delicious!!

    No sir. You did not do it wrong. London Broil cannot compete with Ribeye on any level my friend. Ribeye is head and shoulders above it by any stretch of the imagination. Nonetheless yours looks excellent from where I'm sitting. Outstanding job.

    Thanks for the compliments. And we finish this meal off with some frozen peaches thrown in the Bullet blender until they turned to cream. Ooooooh so good image

    Beauty of a cook. Tender London broil = win, in my book.

    Tell more about that peach dessert, please? Just straight peaches, blended? Any liquid?

    Straight frozen peaches!! No liquid and no sweetener. You gotta work the chunks down into the blender a few times but it will get smooth like ice cream. We do this with strawberries,bananas and peaches. The strawberry banana mix is really good
