Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use a high-quality cut of meat. If you don't have Accent, you can substitute with a little more salt or your favorite seasoning blend. Allowing the meat to marinate for at least four hours enhances the flavor significantly. You can also try adding a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce for an extra layer of taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the London broil sliced thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. It pairs beautifully with sides like Jo'S Raspberry-Cranberry Jello Salad or roasted vegetables. A fresh salad or mashed potatoes also complements the dish well, creating a balanced meal that everyone will enjoy.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover London broil should be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it gently in a skillet over medium heat to avoid drying it out, or use the microwave at low power, ensuring not to overcook.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I achieve the perfect doneness for my London broil?
To achieve the perfect doneness, use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F. Remember, the meat will continue to cook slightly as it rests, so remove it from the grill a few degrees before your target temperature.
Can I use a different cooking method besides grilling?
Yes, you can broil the London broil in your oven if you don't have a grill. Place it on a broiler pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Just keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
What should I do if I find the meat too tough?
If your London broil turns out tough, it's likely due to overcooking or slicing against the grain. For future attempts, ensure you slice the meat thinly and against the grain for tenderness. Additionally, marinating longer can help break down the fibers for a more tender result.
