Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large Ziploc bag, combine ketchup, garlic, water, olive oil, and chopped onion.
- Place the London Broil steak in the bag and marinate overnight.
- Grill the steak to desired doneness, preferably rare or medium rare.
- Cut the beef across the grain at a slanted angle into thin slices before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, allow the London Broil to marinate for at least 12 hours. You can substitute the ketchup with soy sauce for a richer flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, garlic powder can work in a pinch. Ensure your grill is preheated for a good sear. Don't forget to let the meat rest after grilling for juicier slices.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the grilled London Broil with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh Waldorf Apple Salad for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Easy Barbecue Wieners for a casual gathering. Consider serving with crusty bread to soak up the juices, or over a bed of greens to make it a hearty salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover grilled London Broil in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave, ensuring not to overcook it, which can make the meat tough. Slicing before reheating can help it warm more evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this marinade?
Yes, while London Broil is ideal for this recipe, you can use flank steak or skirt steak for similar results. Both cuts will absorb the marinade well and provide a flavorful outcome when grilled.
How can I tell when the steak is done cooking?
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For rare, aim for 125°F; for medium rare, 135°F. Remember that the steak will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the grill, so take it off just before it reaches your desired doneness.
Is it safe to reuse the marinade?
No, it's not safe to reuse the marinade after it has been in contact with raw meat. However, you can reserve a portion before adding the steak to use as a dressing or dipping sauce, ensuring it's cooked thoroughly before consumption.
