The Best london broil marinade recipe
I love how this marinade lets the meat stay juicy while keeping things light and flavorful. It’s not too heavy, so it’s a great option for a weeknight meal, but it also works for bigger occasions, like a game day or a casual gathering. The kids especially love it because it’s easy to customize—add some cheese on top, serve with a side salad, or even turn it into a sandwich if you’re in a hurry. Plus, it’s packed with herbs and spices that give it a real punch without being overpowering. It’s the kind of recipe that feels like a little treat, but it’s still just as good when you’re eating it every day.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About London Broil Marinade
How long should I marinate the London Broil?
Marinate the London Broil for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for best flavor. The longer it marinates, the more tender and flavorful it becomes.
Can I use any type of beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can use sirloin, flank steak, or even ribeye. For the best results, choose a cut that’s at least 1-inch thick to ensure even cooking.
What if I don’t have a meat thermometer?
A good rule of thumb is to cook the London Broil to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. Use a toothpick to check doneness—it should come out flaky and juicy.
Can I make this marinade ahead of time?
Absolutely! Combine all ingredients for the marinade and refrigerate it for up to 2 weeks. Just make sure to store it in an airtight container to prevent spoilage.
How do I prevent the London Broil from drying out?
Rest the meat for 5–10 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute. Also, avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking, and don’t flip it too often.
