How to make Marinated London Broil-
Common Questions-
Yes- the marinade needs at least 8 hours to tenderize and flavor this thick cut of beef.
Yes- but fresh is always best.
The marinade, because of its high oil content, will probably flame up and cause the London broil to burn. Be very careful if you choose to grill. It’ll probably make a big mess. Heat the marinade in a sauce pan until simmering and let it cook for 30 minutes to kill off any bacteria from the raw beef before serving.
It would probably be delicious with pork. I would cook it in a slow cooker or smoker for several hours to ensure the meat stays tender.
Use low sodium soy sauce instead.

kcalIngredients
3 lb London Broil
1/2 cup fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 large shallot, peeled
1 tsp fresh pepper
1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
1 large yellow onion, peeled
2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
- In a blender, combine lemon juice, soy sauce, oil, garlic, onion, shallot, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Blend until smooth and frothy- it will look like a frappuccino.
- Pour a thin layer of the marinade in a glass baking dish. Top with beef. Pour remaining marinade over the top, cover and chill in fridge for two hours or up 8 hours. I’ve left it overnight and it fantastic.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes for medium rare. Let rest before slicing. Beef will continue to cook. Slice on a diagonal to serve. Serve with the marinade.
I’m not certain where my mom found the recipe or if she just dreamed it up one night. Full Disclosure: My mother is the fabulous and always entertaining Marci Arthur, owner of truffles & trifles, a gourmet cooking school in Orlando that has been in business for over 30 years. Before my mom had her shop, she was the original “hostess with the mostess.” She was President of the Florida Symphony Orchestra, a founding member of the Mt. Dora Art Festival, served on the Florida Audubon Board, so much more. She used to have these incredible 70’s cocktail parties at our family home in Tangerine, Florida on Lake Beauclaire and folks would drive in from Orlando. She’d wear blue silk kaftans, hire bartenders to serve chic cocktails and have incredible food.
My sister and I would watch the guests from our stairs and steal little sips of cocktails when no one was looking. I still picture her in the kitchen at the beach whipping up lime daiquiris for her and my aunties or stirring her incredible bolognese sauce all day. She was the kind of home cook that would drive an hour to shop at Gooding’s grocery store (back in the day) just to get the special ingredients she could not find in rural Lake county.
