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.
Rhoda,
This looks like a delicious and easy recipe. I am heading off to the grocery store and will definitely be giving this one a go!

Okay I'll be honest here and tell you right off, I've never done a London Broil. I may have to try this. We like meat, but are really trying to limit red meat (boohoo!) in order to be more healthy.
Sounds like a good marinade, and yay for something that stretches for 3 meals!

Frugal and tasty, that's my kind of cooking! Looks great!
I love London Broil, yummy. I know all about that Publix sale, ha ha. I am going to write down your recipe because it looks delish. A funny story about that sale….
My husband has recently began sharing his testimony with an employee of his. Being in construction times are lean for us at this moment and there is not much money being paid right now. This fellow has shared that his family has been barely eating and eating eggs and very cheap things. My husband keeps sharing with him to trust in the Lord. He will provide. That week the gentleman kept saying over and over he wanted meat so bad. He really wanted London Broil. My husband told him the Lord will provide. He laughs at my hubby. The very next day he calls up my hubby to ask if he had been praying for him. Hubby says yes, why. He said he just walked into Publix and they had London Broil on sale so cheap that he could afford to eat meat for the first time in weeks!! We laughed about that for a good while.
Have a great day,
Jennifer
Thanks for making me drool on my laptop.
Rhoda, that looks delish, and I know for sure my husband would die of happiness if I made that!!! Great recipe, and thanks also for the photos. 🙂
Thanks for the marinade recipe, Rhoda. We'll give it a try. Perhaps, I'll pick up a London Broil this week.
Yours looks delicious!
That makes my mouth water. My daughter and her husband love to grill and I am passing the picture and the recipe to her then she can invite me for supper.
