Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients, except steak, to make marinade.
- Place steak in marinade and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Grill steak until desired doneness.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, consider marinating the steak for up to 48 hours. If you don't have steak sauce, a mixture of Worcestershire sauce and ketchup can work well as a substitute. When grilling, allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to retain its juices and enhance tenderness. For a twist, try adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the marinade.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the London Broil against the grain for the best texture, and serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. It pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or garlic bread. For a complete meal, consider serving it with a hearty dish like Linda'S Chili or Beef Crock-Pot recipes. A light red wine, such as Pinot Noir, complements the flavors nicely.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover London Broil can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth to keep it moist. Alternatively, you can slice it thinly and use in sandwiches or salads for quick meals. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the meat tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, while flank steak is traditional for London Broil, you can use other cuts like sirloin or ribeye. Just remember that cooking times may vary based on the cut, so adjust accordingly to achieve your desired doneness.
What if I don’t have a grill?
If you don’t have access to a grill, you can easily cook the steak on a stovetop using a cast-iron skillet. Preheat the skillet until it’s very hot, then sear the steak for a few minutes on each side until it reaches your preferred doneness.
How can I tell when the steak is done?
Using a meat thermometer is the best way to check for doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F. If you prefer medium, look for 140-145°F. Always let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to ensure it's juicy.
