Ingredients
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
- Mix the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey (or brown sugar), rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and salt until well combined and smooth.
- Marinate the Meat: Place the London broil in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is fully coated and immersed for maximum absorption.
- Refrigerate to Marinate: Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 4 to 6 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Prepare for Cooking: Remove the London broil from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off before cooking.
- Cook the Meat: Grill or broil the London broil to your preferred doneness, typically about 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time depending on the thickness of the cut.
- Rest and Serve: Let the cooked meat rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Slice thinly against the grain for optimal tenderness and serve.
Notes
- Marinating longer (up to overnight) greatly enhances tenderness and flavor.
- Use a resealable plastic bag for easy cleanup and even marinade distribution.
- When grilling, preheat grill to medium-high heat for best sear.
- Always slice against the grain to maximize tenderness.
- This marinade is best suited for tougher cuts like London broil that benefit from tenderizing.
