THE BEST LONDON BROIL MARINADE RECIPE
My go-to marinade for the BEST London Broil for almost 10 years! A favorite tried and true recipe that calls for just a few simple ingredients I always have in hand.
Read rave reviews from people who tried this awesome recipe on Pinterest!
This is my go-to marinade for London Broil (the best ever!!), my husband’s childhood favorite. Several years ago, I found this marinade on Food.com after searching for the flavors my husband described in his dad’s famous London Broil. After the first try, it’s the only marinade we use for London Broil. The flavor is wonderful, and I always have the ingredients on hand. This recipe has a five-star rating and tons of rave reviews!
For today’s post, I used a jar of minced garlic – I forgot to buy more fresh garlic at the store, rosemary too. Fresh is best, but the jarred and pantry stuff works well too.
What You Need to Make the Best London Broil Marinade
Balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, fresh ground black pepper, garlic, rosemary and a two pound cut of London broil beef.

The Best London Broil Marinade
“Ant” Kelly’s London Broil Marinade, from Food.com
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Directions
Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a medium size bowl. Lightly score beef on each side. Place beef in a large zip lock bag and pour marinade over. Using your hands, massage the marinade over the beef in the bag and then place in the fridge.
Marinate in fridge for at least 2–3 hours. I usually marinate my London Broil for about 8 hours, throwing everything together in the morning and turning it a few times in the fridge throughout the day.

Ignore the naysayers, I discovered this recipe awhile ago
And it is the BEST London Broil one I’ve ever tried. Now it’s the only one I use! Making it again this evening.
Marge
Made this about a month ago and it was amazing. Made it again when my daughter was visiting and she asked for the recipe. Then I made the marinade, but for boneless chicken breasts on the grill. They were delicious! Next time I’ll try pork chops 😋. Great all around marinade!! It’s a keeper!!! Thank you.
Stephanie
I’m going to try this later this week. It sounds great and I respect that you give credit to where you originally learned of the recipe. I’ll try to remember to come back and review it after I make it! Thank you 😊
Sara
Thank you so much for this recipe. I made it tonight exactly as written and grilled it. It was delicious! My husband loved it. I made it with sautéed mushrooms and grilled corn on the cob. Great marinade!

Cindy

Bermth
My kids loved it! First time making this cut and it will be on the menu again! Thanks!

This was an easy and really good marinade. I had a London broil in the freezer, I couldn’t decide what to do with it, since I usually find London Broil to be tough and dry. Found this recipe, combined the ingredients, vacuum sealed and set the meat to marinade.
Then I cooked it in sous vide cooker set to 127 degrees for about 2.5 hours. We then seared it on the grill and it came out perfect. Just perfect!
Saved the marinade and brought it to boil to reduce and drizzled over meat.
Claudia McCulloch
Thanks for the great recipe. Cannot wait to try it!
Congratulations on the move! Last August, we finished moving our home and my then-closed psychology practice from LA to TN (just south of Nashville). Love it here. We’re all back home in the South where we belong!

HI – have you ever put the London broil in the crock pot with this marinade?
Bob Smith
I wouldn’t do this in a slow cooker or InstaPot. Grilling is best or either broiler or heavy frying pan like someone else suggested.
Audrey
Could it be cooked in a slow cooker if no grill available and to hot weather wise to use oven
Keith
Kind of a sin to slow cook it. You could do a chuck or such and the additional fat makes it come out delicious. I always grill it, worse case pan fry on very high heat. You want to cook it like a thick steak to rare or it can be tough.

What cut is considered London Broil ?
Mary Neumann

Bob Smith
Top round and you want it cut like a steak and not a roast and preferably at least 1-1/2” thick so it doesn’t dry out. Grill 5 minutes per side for rare to medium rare for that thickness and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing fairly thin across.the grain.

everything looks great ,except the jarred garlic, fresh fresh
Mary Neumann
I almost always use fresh garlic, but forgot to grab it at the store that day, as mentioned in my post above – jarred works well too.
Terri
This was a delicious recipe, marinade was perfect. Cooked the meat to a medium rare It was great. I will definitely do it again. Thanks for sharing your recipes.

Hi Mary. I too am from Wisconsin now living in Florida. Where do you go tubing? And Savannah is my favorite city. Love it. Now, about the recipe – is this good to marinate any steak with? Sounds good to me.
Marsha Baker
Oh Mary! Mary! I did not know about your move across country! WOW! That's a big change. I'm so excited for you to be in warmer temps…and closer to a city you love so well. This recipe sounds wonderful. I just bet you'll be teaching those southern folks some new 'tricks' in the kitchen. Yay for you!
