Scale
Marinade Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey (or brown sugar), dried rosemary, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Marinate the Meat: Place the London broil in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
- Refrigerate to Marinate: Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best flavor and tenderness, marinate for 4 to 6 hours or preferably overnight.
- Remove Excess Marinade: Take the London broil out of the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off to avoid flare-ups during cooking.
- Grill or Broil the Meat: Cook the London broil on a grill or under a broiler, grilling about 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare depending on the thickness of the meat. Adjust cooking time according to your preferred doneness.
- Rest and Slice: Allow the meat to rest for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking to let juices redistribute. Slice thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness and serve.
Notes
- Marinating overnight guarantees the most tender and flavorful results.
- If you prefer sweeter marinades, increase the honey or brown sugar slightly.
- Always slice London broil against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Discard any leftover marinade that has been in contact with raw meat or boil it before using as a sauce to avoid foodborne illness.
- The marinade can also be used for other cuts of beef or even chicken for flavorful results.
