The cut [edit]. Although American butchers may label a cut of meat London broil, the term does not refer to a specific cut of meat but to a method of preparation and cookery. Butchers may label top round steak or roast as London broil.
The Encomienda system is a system of tributary labor established in Spanish America. It was developed as a means of securing an adequate and cheap labor supply. The Encomienda was first used in the Moors of Spain and later was taken to the New World.
The Spanish authorities were alarmed at this decline in the local Indian population. New laws made by the Spanish in 1542 put an end to them being taken as slaves. Indians could no longer work in mines and on the land. Instead, a new system was introduced called the encomienda system.
