Tips & Substitutions
For an extra depth of flavor, marinate the London broil in the sauce mixture for several hours or overnight. You can substitute balsamic vinegar for the red wine vinegar if desired. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the marinade. Make sure to brown the beef well to develop a rich crust, which enhances the overall flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the London broil against the grain and serve it with a side of California Vegetable Salad for a refreshing contrast. It also pairs beautifully with Hot Beef Sandwiches, making it a versatile choice for meals. Consider adding a starch like mashed potatoes or rice to complete the dish.
