Try this method for the most amazing roast:

Take a cup of oil, add in any spices/ herbs you like (I do kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground mustard, a little adobo, some steak seasoning... whatever is around)
Rub meat all over with some of your oil mixture. Broil 15 minutes. Flip over, baste with some more of your oil mixture, broil another 15 minutes. Keep flipping, basting, and broiling 15 minutes at a time until internal temperature registers to your preferred level of doneness. If rewarming, undercook somewhat the first time. Since I like my roasts sliced thinly, I slice when cool then wrap tightly with foil before warming up. This has gotten rave reviews from anyone who's ever eaten by me.

i never understood why people do that. you actually prefer it thin?

Try searing all sides of the meat in a pan before cooking it with whatever method you choose. You'll get a nice caramelized, browned meat, flavor.

Yes, I do. I enjoy the challenge of slicing as thinly and evenly as possible. I think you get the best flavor that way, and it isn't too chewy when cooked rare. My in-laws always slice their roasts as thick as steak, and I really dislike it. Give me thick steaks, but thinly sliced roasts

Roasts really preferred as thin as possible. Have a hard time always getting them as thin as possible and making sure they dont break off. Any good suggestions for knifes that work best for that? Shabbos and non-Shabbos version? (I assume electric might be the way to go here)

You could slice before and keep warm at ~180-200 in the oven to reheat

Any hardware store or amazon should have. I don't think you need anything fancy.

Any quick easy marinades for steak?

Any quick easy marinades for steak?

Rub in kosher Salt and fresh cracked pepper. Let it sit for at least half hour then grill or do on stove top. Don't kill a good steak with marinade.

Not a marinade, but try this for an excellent steak:

+1 kosher salt and freshly ground coarse pepper are all you need. Don't skimp on them either

you can skimp on the salt a little. kosher meat has plenty of salt already

agree, but if you're looking for a marinade here's one I use ask the time for London broil:
1/4 cup each of: Balsamic vinegar, worstchiser Sauce, olive oil and Soy sauce ( I usually go lite on the Soy sauce so it doesn't get too salty).
Generous amount of black pepper.
3-4 cloves of garlic diced (I just use the frozen crushed garlic)
And some spicy Brown mustard.

[noturbizniss]

I do the following for London broil.
1/2 C olive oil
1/2 C soy sauce
1/4 C honey
1 Tblsp dried rosemary or thyme
1.5 tblsp grnd pepper
1 tsp salt
6 chopped cloves garlic...or garlic powde
Marinate bin plastic bag for an hour to a day

Common myth. They wash it off. Your don't need a ton but be generous. I brined my turkey in Thanksgiving and cute the salt by maybe 10 percent. It tasted amazing.
