Ingredients
Instructions
- Marinate your London broil in vinegar, salad oil, and Worcestershire sauce for 4 hours or longer.
- Preheat your broiler to 350° or prepare your grill.
- Broil or grill the marinated London broil, basting with the marinade sauce as it cooks.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, marinate the London broil overnight if possible. If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce can be a great substitute. When grilling or broiling, consider using a meat thermometer to ensure you reach your preferred doneness. Remember to let the meat rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain its juices. This dish pairs beautifully with Old Time Coleslaw.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the London broil against the grain for maximum tenderness and serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. It also pairs well with baked potatoes or rice. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside Congealed Coca-Cola Cranberry Salad for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover London broil in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice the meat and warm it gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the meat tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts like flank steak or top round, but cooking times may vary. Flank steak is particularly popular for its flavor and tenderness when marinated. Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the meat.
How do I know when the London broil is done cooking?
Using a meat thermometer is the best way to check doneness. Aim for 130°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium. Remember that the meat will continue to cook slightly while resting, so you might want to take it off the heat a little earlier.
Can I make the marinade ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the marinade a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste of your London broil. Just give it a good stir before using.
