Ant Kelly's London Broil Marinade



London broil is a cut of beef that is known for its tough texture. However, when marinated properly, it can be transformed into a tender and flavorful steak. This marinade is my grandmother's recipe, and it has been passed down in our family for generations. It is simple to make, but it packs a big flavor punch.

To make the marinade, you will need:

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 1 teaspoon rosemary

  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

  • 2 pounds London broil beef

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine all of the marinade ingredients.

  2. Place the London broil in the bowl and turn to coat all sides in the marinade.

  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.

  4. When you are ready to cook, remove the London broil from the marinade and discard the marinade.

  5. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

  6. Grill or broil the London broil for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches the desired level of doneness.

  7. Let the London broil rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Here are a few tips for making the perfect London broil:

  • Use a good quality London broil. A well-marbled steak will be more tender and flavorful.

  • Don't overcook the London broil. Overcooked London broil will be tough and dry.

  • Let the London broil rest before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak.

Here are a few variations on the Ant Kelly's London Broil Marinade:

  • Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for a sweeter marinade.

  • Add a teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicier marinade.

  • Add a handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano, for a more flavorful marinade.

No matter how you make it, Ant Kelly's London Broil Marinade is a surefire way to create a tender and flavorful steak. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dinner option, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.

Here is a story about how I came to love Ant Kelly's London Broil Marinade:

I grew up in a small town in the Midwest, and my grandmother was a fantastic cook. She loved to cook for her family and friends, and she always made sure that her food was delicious and comforting. One of my favorite dishes that she made was London broil, and she always marinated it in her special marinade. The marinade was made with balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and black pepper. It was simple, but it was packed with flavor. The marinade always made the London broil so tender and juicy, and it was always my favorite part of the meal.

I still make Ant Kelly's London Broil Marinade today, and it is still one of my favorite dishes to make. It is so easy to make, and it always turns out delicious. I love to serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. It is the perfect meal for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

I am so grateful to my grandmother for teaching me how to make this delicious dish. It is a reminder of her love and her cooking, and it is a tradition that I will continue to pass down to my own family.
