- Marinate the steak for 6 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
- Remove the steak from the marinade.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the London broil for a full 24 hours instead of 6. If you don't have dry sherry, you can substitute with white wine or broth. To achieve a perfect grill, ensure your grill is preheated and well-oiled to prevent sticking. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness; 130°F for rare is ideal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sliced London broil with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Cabbage Refrigerator Slaw for a refreshing crunch. You can also serve it with rolls for a hearty touch or with a glass of red wine to enhance the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover London broil in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice the meat and warm it gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of broth or water to retain moisture. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the meat tough.
