Description

This flavorful London Broil marinade combines a savory blend of soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and aromatic herbs to tenderize and enhance the deep beefy flavor of the meat. Perfect for marinating 1-2 pounds of London broil, it infuses the meat with a balance of tangy, sweet, and herbaceous notes, making your grilled or broiled steak juicy, tender, and delicious.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Prepare for Cooking: Remove the London broil from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off before cooking.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
