The Best grilled marinated london broil recipe

I’ve been making grilled marinated London broil for years, and there’s something about the tender, juicy texture that just makes it feel like a special treat—even when it’s just for family dinner. My kids used to beg for it after school, and honestly, I’d rather cook it than anything else. It’s got that perfect balance of smoky flavor and melt-in-your-mouth goodness, and it’s so easy to customize with different marinades that keep things interesting. Plus, it’s a great way to use up any leftover chicken or even a whole chicken if you’re feeling ambitious. The health benefits are nice too, since it’s lean protein with minimal added fat if you keep things simple. It’s the kind of dish that feels like a little celebration every time, whether you’re serving it for a casual weeknight meal or a weekend gathering.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Grilled Marinated London Broil Steak

How do I know when the London broil is cooked through?

Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: insert it into the thickest part of the steak. It’s ready when it reaches 145°F (63°C). For a slightly more tender bite, aim for 150°F (65°C). The edges should pull away from the meat slightly, and the juices should run clear when you cut into it.

—

Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

Yes! While traditional London broil uses flank steak or sirloin, you can substitute a ribeye, strip steak, or even a thin-cut pork chops (like a New York strip). Just adjust the marinating time slightly—thicker cuts may need up to 2 hours instead of 1. Pat the meat dry before grilling for better sear results.

—

What if I don’t have a grill pan or outdoor grill?

No problem! Use a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust for preference). If using a grill basket, ensure it’s hot and well-seasoned to prevent sticking. Flip occasionally for even cooking.

—

How long should I marinate the beef before grilling?

For best flavor, marinate the beef for at least 2 hours (overnight is ideal). If short on time, a 1-hour marinade will still work, but the beef will be slightly less tender. Gently wrap the steak in plastic wrap to keep it moist during marinating.

—

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, but prep steps matter. Marinate the beef in the fridge up to 12 hours ahead. Assemble the steak and marinade in a sealed container, then refrigerate until ready to grill. Cook immediately after removing from the fridge to avoid overcooking.
