I keep seeing recipes that say to turn on your broiler.

My oven is electric, so I don’t know if my broil setting is as effective as gas ovens, what do you think?

And does it matter if I use a foil pan instead of a real baking dish, and if so, how should I adjust the cooking time?

Thank you very much, from a clueless cook!

How high does your oven temp go? 500 or 550?

I roast it at 525/550 for 20-25 minutes depending on size (25 min for 2 lb).

Thanks so much!

Do you sear it in a pot first? And when do you slice it?

Eta: uncovered?

No searing. I place it on a rack sitting over a cookie sheet and roast.
After roasting uncovered at 525 (I wait a while for the oven to truly reach that temp and check a separate thermometer), I remove it from the rack/baking sheet and lay it on a large silver foil and close it for 10 minutes to retain juices. I don't slice it until I'm ready to serve (so it doesn't dry out).
When I serve, I have a collection of juices to drizzle over it which adds to the moistness as well.
I do 25 min for a 2 lb because then I get just a few slices that are well done from the 2 corners. I do have 1 eater who likes meat well done, while the rest of us appreciate medium.

Thank you!

What kind of juices do you drizzle on it?

Mine is 3lbs, would you bake it for 40 minutes?

The juices from the London broil collects in the silver foil it's sealed in after it bakes. I use that.
For 3 pounds do 28/30 min. How done do you want it?

I rub it with olive oil and 1 tsp salt per pound then sprinkle with course black pepper. Otherwise olive oil and Montreal steak seasoning. Or marinate in oil salt and crushed garlic.
