Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, marinate the London broil for at least 12 hours, or even up to 24 hours if possible. If you don’t have wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar can work as substitutes. Using a blend of low-sodium soy sauce can reduce sodium levels without sacrificing flavor. To enhance the marinade, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the marinated London broil against the grain for the most tender bites. Serve it alongside 'No Guilt' Potato Wedges for a comforting meal, or pair with a fresh Banana-Apple Salad for a refreshing contrast. A simple green salad or roasted vegetables can also complement the rich flavors well.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover marinade can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you have leftover cooked meat, slice it and store it in a sealed container for up to three days. To reheat, place the slices in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of broth or water to keep it moist, covering to retain steam.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this marinade?
Yes, while London broil is ideal, this marinade works well with other cuts like flank steak or sirloin. Just adjust the marinating time based on the thickness of the meat. Thinner cuts may need less time to absorb flavors, so keep an eye on them.
How do I know when my London broil is done?
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F, while medium should reach 140-145°F. Remember that the meat will continue cooking slightly while resting after broiling.
Can I use this marinade for grilling instead of broiling?
Absolutely! This marinade is versatile and works perfectly for grilling. Just be sure to preheat the grill and cook the meat over medium-high heat, turning occasionally for even cooking. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the cut.
