Juicy London broil marinated in savory teriyaki and white wine, then grilled to perfection, offering a flavorful and tender beef dish ideal for casual dinners and gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Pierce meat with a fork on both sides and place it in a large food storage bag.
- Mix teriyaki sauce, white wine, and meat tenderizer in a small bowl.
- Pour the marinade mixture into the bag with the meat and marinate for 3 to 4 hours.
- Cook on a grill at medium heat, basting the meat with the marinade until desired tenderness.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, let the London broil marinate overnight. If you don’t have white wine, you can substitute with apple cider vinegar mixed with a bit of water. Make sure to pierce the meat thoroughly to allow the marinade to penetrate. For a hint of sweetness, consider adding brown sugar to the marinade. Pairing this dish with sides like Grilled Teriyaki Corn On The Cob(China) can elevate your meal.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the London broil against the grain for tender pieces. It pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for balance. Consider serving it alongside Sesame Chinese Noodles for a complete meal. Drizzle any leftover marinade over the sliced meat for added flavor. A refreshing cucumber salad can also complement the rich teriyaki taste beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
Store any 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, adding a splash of teriyaki sauce to keep it moist. Avoid microwaving as it can make the meat tough. For longer storage, freeze slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute London broil with flank steak or sirloin. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the cut. Flank steak, for example, is leaner and may need less time to cook, so adjust accordingly.
What should I do if I can't find teriyaki sauce?
If you can't find teriyaki sauce, you can make a quick substitute by mixing soy sauce with a bit of honey or brown sugar, and adding minced garlic and ginger for flavor. This will mimic the sweet and savory profile of teriyaki sauce effectively.
How do I know when the London broil is done cooking?
The best way to check for doneness is to use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 135°F (57°C). Remember that the meat will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the grill, so it’s okay to take it off just before it reaches the desired temperature.
