Grilled Marinated London Broil

This is the recipe we used tonight :
Grilled Marinated London Broil Recipe courtesy of Gourmet Magazine

For marinade
5 large garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
A 1 1/2 pound top-round London broil (about 1 1/4 inches thick)
Accompaniment: Sliced vine-ripened tomatoes

Make marinade: Mince and mash garlic to a paste with salt and in a blender blend with remaining marinade ingredients.
In a heavy-duty sealable plastic bag combine London broil with marinade. Seal bag, pressing out excess air, and put in a shallow baking dish. Marinate steak, chilled, turning occasionally, at least 4 hours and up to 24.
Prepare grill.
Bring steak to room temperature (which should take about 1 hour) before grilling. Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off, and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 7 to 9 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
Holding a knife at 45 degrees angle, cut steak across grain into thin slices and serve with tomatoes.

Why this reads pretty good ‘gardener. It looks worth a try.

My TB don’t tolerate garlic in anyways, so if I eat it, I sure sleep well, but I sure sleep alone. But I got a delicate constitution about it too, so shallots are substituted for the “g” word.

I like soy sauce in my marinade and I’d probably add a little pineapple juice too. Why this reminds me of the marinade I use for carne asada, using skirt steak. London broil, as you fix it would work too.

I’d change out those tomatoes for some grilled up jalapenos and onions.

And home made tortillias!

I’m breaking into a sweat just ruminating about it all.

Sounds very good with the honey, as far as slicing goes, I was told by a butcher, to carve 90°, straight down, it doesn’t present as nice but it does shorten the meat fibers…thus rendering the meat tenderer. Interesting point. (and he was right!)

So that is what a London Broil is!
Ok, I can say I could eat something like that, my only reservations would be the wine added to the mix, which I am sure is just fine, just that I don't have the experience with the wine department, and I guess it means I gotta get out of here much more than I have.
Good post, keep up the good works!
