Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or Worcestershire sauce to the marinade. If you don’t have soy sauce, tamari is a great gluten-free alternative. Make sure to score the meat with shallow cuts; this helps the marinade penetrate better. Use fresh herbs whenever possible for the best flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your London broil with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Steakhouse Baked Potatoes, making for a classic dinner experience. Slices can also be used in sandwiches or wraps for a delicious lunch option.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover London broil can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice the steak and warm it gently in a skillet over low heat or microwave it for short intervals, ensuring it doesn’t overcook and become tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this marinade?
Yes, while top round steak is traditional for London broil, you can also use flank steak or skirt steak. Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the cut.
How can I make the marinade more spicy?
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade. Adjust the quantity to your heat preference to achieve the desired flavor.
Is marinating for less than a day effective?
While overnight marinating is ideal, you can marinate for as little as 30 minutes if you're short on time. Just keep in mind that the flavor will be less intense.
