(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: rosemary, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk well until the honey is fully dissolved and all ingredients are combined.
2. Place the London Broil in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, making sure it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the London Broil from the marinade and let it come to room temperature while the grill heats up.
4. Grill the London Broil for about 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more done. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, and 145°F for medium.
5. Once cooked to your desired level, remove the meat from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
6. Slice the London Broil against the grain into thin strips and serve immediately. You can serve it with grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dishes.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves about 4-6 people. The preparation time for the marinade is about 10 minutes, and the grilling time is approximately 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat and your preferred level of doneness.

Variations

• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some sriracha sauce to the marinade for a little heat.
• Add Citrus: For a refreshing twist, add the juice of one lemon or orange to the marinade.
• Herb Variation: If you don’t have fresh rosemary, thyme or oregano would also work well for a different flavor profile.

Storage/reheating

Grilled London Broil is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice the meat thinly and heat it in a skillet over medium heat, just until warmed through. You can also serve it cold on salads or in sandwiches.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different cut of beef instead of London Broil?

Yes, flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin can also be used in place of London Broil. These cuts are all great for grilling and can absorb the marinade well.

2. How long should I marinate the London Broil?

For the best flavor, marinate the meat for at least 2 hours, but marinating it overnight is ideal for maximum flavor absorption.

3. Can I make the marinade ahead of time?

Yes, the marinade can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Just be sure to stir it well before using.

4. Can I cook this London Broil in the oven instead of on the grill?

Yes, you can broil the London Broil in the oven. Preheat the broiler and place the meat on a broiler pan. Broil for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness and your desired level of doneness.

5. How do I know when the London Broil is done?

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should be 135°F. Let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it retains its juices.

6. Can I grill London Broil on a gas or charcoal grill?

Both gas and charcoal grills work great for this recipe. The key is to have medium-high heat and to avoid overcooking the meat.

7. How do I slice the London Broil?

Always slice the London Broil against the grain (the direction of the muscle fibers) to ensure the meat is tender.

8. Can I freeze the London Broil after marinating?

Yes, you can freeze the London Broil with the marinade for up to 3 months. Just thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before grilling.

9. Can I use regular soy sauce instead of low-sodium soy sauce?

Yes, you can, but keep in mind that regular soy sauce is saltier, so you may want to reduce the amount of added salt in the marinade.

10. What should I serve with grilled London Broil?

Grilled London Broil pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad. You can also make a great sandwich or wrap with the leftovers.
