Pioneer Woman London Broil Marinade Ingredients

• ¾ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

How To Make Pioneer Woman London Broil Marinade

1. Combine Marinade Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the reduced-sodium soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, and brown sugar.
2. Whisk the Mixture: Whisk all the ingredients together vigorously until the marinade is fully blended and the sugar dissolves.
3. Prepare the Meat for Marinating: Take your London broil, whether it is top round, flank steak, or skirt steak, and place it inside a large resealable plastic bag.
4. Add the Marinade: Pour the prepared marinade over the London broil in the bag, ensuring the meat is evenly coated on all sides.
5. Seal and Refrigerate: Remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing it securely; refrigerate the marinating meat, turning the bag occasionally, for a minimum of 4 hours to a maximum of 48 hours.
6. Prepare for Cooking: After marination, take the meat out of the bag and discard the used marinade; pat the London broil dry with paper towels.
7. Let the Meat Rest: Allow the marinated London broil to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure more uniform cooking.
8. Cooking the Meat: Depending on your preference, either grill over direct high heat for about 4 minutes each side and then move to indirect heat, or broil in a preheated broiler for 8 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through.
9. Rest and Serve: Let the cooked London broil rest for 10 minutes before slicing it diagonally across the grain into thin strips; serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• Choose the Right Cut: Opt for cuts like flank steak or skirt steak which absorb marinade better and are perfect for grilling or broiling.
• Enhance the Flavor: Introduce a splash of dark sesame oil to the marinade for an additional nutty flavor that complements the soy and ginger.
• Optimal Marination Time: Marinate the meat for the full 48 hours when possible; this maximizes flavor penetration and tenderizes the meat more effectively.
• Test Meat Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check doneness accurately; this ensures your London broil is perfectly cooked to your preference.
• Resting Is Crucial: Allow the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes after cooking to redistribute the juices, which ensures a juicier slice.

What To Serve With London Broil Marinade

Serve your savory London Broil with roasted root vegetables, a kale and apple salad, creamy polenta, sautéed mushrooms, and garlic toast for a well-rounded meal.

You can also pair it with sweet potato fries drizzled with a balsamic reduction, or a quinoa salad tossed with dried cranberries and slivered almonds.

How To Store London Broil Marinade

To Refrigerate: Place leftover London Broil in an airtight container or wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.

To Freeze: Wrap the cooled London Broil tightly in a freezer-safe wrap or place it in a freezer bag, squeezing out excess air before sealing. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

How To Reheat London Broil Marinade

In The Oven: Place the London Broil slices on a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil, and heat at 275°F until warmed through, about 20 to 25 minutes. This gentle reheating keeps the meat tender.

In The Microwave: Arrange slices of London Broil in a microwave-safe dish, cover with a damp paper towel to keep the meat moist, and heat on medium power in 30-second intervals until just heated through.

In The Air Fryer: Heat the air fryer to 350°F. Place slices of London Broil in the basket without overlapping, and warm for about 3-4 minutes, checking halfway. This method revives the outer crust while keeping the inside moist.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I rotate the meat during marination?

Is it safe to marinate the meat using frozen meat?

Yes, you can use frozen meat, but ensure it is fully thawed in the refrigerator before marinating to achieve even flavor absorption.
