- Brush the steak with the sauce.
- Grill the steak 4 inches from the heat, turning once.

Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, marinate the steak in the teriyaki sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. You can substitute apricot jam with peach or mango preserves for a different twist. If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the cornstarch slightly. Fresh ginger can also be added for an extra kick. Always let the steak rest for a few minutes after grilling to retain juices.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the London Broil Teriyaki sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness. It pairs beautifully with steamed rice and grilled vegetables, or you can serve it alongside a fresh salad. For a fun twist, consider serving with a side of Mark'S Sweet Little Dogs for a complete meal that delights.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover grilled London Broil can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice the steak thinly and warm it gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or leftover sauce 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, while London Broil is ideal, you can substitute flank steak or sirloin for a similar texture and flavor. Just ensure to adjust your cooking times as needed based on the thickness of the cut.
What if I don't have apricot jam?
If apricot jam isn't available, you can use other fruit preserves like peach or apple, or even honey for sweetness. Each alternative will give a unique flavor profile to your teriyaki sauce.
How do I know when the steak is done cooking?
For best results, use a meat thermometer. Aim for 130°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, and 145°F for medium. Remember to let your steak rest for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it remains juicy.
