Grilled Marinated London Broil

If you’re not a red meat eater, you might just want to click on outta here. We are definitely meat eaters at our house. I’ve never been a real expert on cooking beef other than roasts in the crockpot and such, but I decided to venture out and try a recipe I had for London Broil. Now, one thing I’ve learned about cuts like this. You have to marinate them, preferably at least 24 hours or they will be tough. That’s what I did with this one.

Here’s a good recipe I found for a homemade marinade:

Grilled Marinated London Broil

We grilled it about 12-15 minutes on each side. My hubby usually grills, but I have to watch him, he’ll grill things til they are like shoe leather and I like mine pink in the middle. Not bloody, just pink, medium-well. So, I kept an eye on it this time and it turned out just right. Pink and perfecto!And he liked it too.

It was very delicious with the marinade and marinating it overnight makes the meat tender. We ate on this for 3 meals and it was great, all for under $7. I fixed it with side dishes the first night, then sandwiches for the Jazz Fest, and then with what was left, I made beef fajitas. Publix had them on sale recently, so I picked up another one to do the same way.

Grilled Marinated London Broil

For marinade:

4 cloves of garlic, minced

4 TBL balsamic vinegar

4 TBL lemon juice

3 TBL Dijon mustard

1 1/2 TBL Worchestershire sauce

1 TBL soy sauce

1 TSP dried oregano

1 TSP dried basil

1 TSP dried thyme

1/2 tsp. hot red pepper flakes

2/3 cup olive oil

1 London Broil (2 to 2 1/2 lbs.)

Directions:

In a bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients until combined well. Put London broil in a large resealable plastic bag & pour marinade over it. Seal bag, pressing out excess air and set in a shallow dish. Marinate meat, chilled, turning bag once or twice at least 8 hours. Preferably 24 hours.

Remove meat from marinade, discard the marinade.

Preheat grill and set meat on grill, turning each once, 9 to 10 minutes on each side, or until it registers 125 to 130 degrees on a meat thermometer for medium-rare meat. Alternatively, meat may be broiled. We cooked ours longer for medium-welldone.

Transfer meat to cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Cut meat diagonally across the grain into thin slices.

I’m joining Jen for her Tasty Tuesday today, so head on over for lots of other recipes.

    I cook them often but we call them flank steaks. Make sure you slice across the grain not with the grain or you will have string.
    Slice them while still partially frozen super thin then marinade them and make a beef satay on a stick or a stir fry.

    We love to grill a good cut of London Broil! This marinade looks just wonderful. We'll have to give it a try when we fire up the grill again.

    Hope that you are having a lovely week,
    Jennifer

    Hi,

    It looks good, just don't eat the black part (the burned one).
    My preferred parts are the loin and the sirloin (I guess this is the name, here in Portugal we say vazia). Loin in portuguese is lombo.

    Best regards,

    José

    It's been awhile since we've had London Broil.
    i think I'll add it to a future menu plan.

    Wow! I'm surprised with the amount of people who've never had London Broil. We grew up having it and it's one of the cuts of beef I cook frequently. This recipe sounds delish and I might just give it a try for the old grill this weekend! Thanks!

    Hi Rhoda,
    This looks awesome. I've never had london broil either..will definitely try it. The marinade looks similar to one we use for ribs. Just marinate the ribs for a few hours, wrap in aluminum foil, grill on medium heat for about an hour…meat falls off the bone! You can add bar-b que sauce if you'd like; we like them either way! Happy Summer.
