Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, honey, oil, ginger, and minced garlic together.
- Pour the marinade over the meat.

Tips & Substitutions
For a balanced flavor, consider substituting the honey with maple syrup for a vegan option. You can also add a splash of rice vinegar for extra acidity. Letting the meat marinate overnight intensifies the flavor. If you're short on time, marinating for just 30 minutes can still yield delicious results. Additionally, for a spicy kick, mix in some red pepper flakes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the London broil sliced thin against the grain for maximum tenderness. It pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside baked potatoes or rice. This dish also works well with sides like roasted asparagus or mashed potatoes to complete your dinner plate.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover marinade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you've already marinated the meat, it can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. When reheating, avoid the microwave to maintain texture; instead, reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through or grill briefly for added flavor.
