Absolutely delicious. I used dried thyme vs fresh since its what I had on hand, used a meat mallet vs. fork piercing to tenderize the meat, and marinated it 24 hours, flipping once.

Very tasty -- I wish I had marinated it all day instead of just a few hours, but we still enjoyed it. I didn't have shallots, so used a half of a yellow onion, but it was still delicious.

Yummy! never cooked a london broil.. nor wanted to but thawed one accidentally. Found this recipe amongst several others and it sounded good and I had most of the ingredients. I used keylime juice in place of lemon and used fresh regular and lemon thyme and no oregano (not such a fan) and I couldn't stop picking it when it came out of the oven! Even the fat was delicious; which sounds gross, I know! I too have a lo/hi broiler option and went with lo as I didn't want to cook it too much per other reviews. It was perfect for our taste~

Replaced the shallots with finely chopped white onions. Used with London broil and only marinated for about 90 minutes. A solid recipe, I will use the marinade recipe again.

This was my first time cooking london broil, I marinated the meat for around 5 hours, and substituted dried seasonings. It was delicious! I served it with some fresh green beans and roasted red potatoes. I'm new to cooking, and this was as easy as it was great! Thank You!

Superb marinade! Loved it! Marinated over night (only b/c my hubby didn't get home till late) and it was delic! Didn't bother scraping any of the shallots or garlic off and used dried thyme since I didn't have any fresh on hand. Yum! And easy! Def a weeknight meal....I would definately pierce away as much as you can to tenderize as other reviewers have sad. Will make again!

I tried this recipe tonight but substituted onion and dried spices. I "scored" the London broil before marinating so the marinade would seep in. Turned out well. I would cook for a bit longer. I have a lo/hi setting on my broiler I did 7 min each side on low and it was a bit too pink for our liking. I served with roasted new potatoes (own recipe).

Used white onion, dried thyme and ground oregano. Marinated 8 hours. Grilled instead of broiled and it was sooooo delicious! Served with fresh spinach from our garden, steamed french green beans, and "potato salad 101" from Cooking Light.

We've made this marinade three times so far. It's incredibly simple and turns out delicious every time! Will definitely keep in the regular recipe rotation -- it's a great use for an inexpensive cut of beef.

Easy and good. I used a small yellow onion instead of shallot.

Delicious! Critical to the success of this dish is to "pierce steak with a fork" - about 400 times. This tenderizes the inherently tough cut of meat by cutting through the connective tissue. I bought a Jaccard meat tenderizer (a needler) which performs this task admirably. I used 1 tsp dried thyme instead of fresh.

This recipe is a staple in the Summertime meal rotation: delicious!!! I substitute finely chopped onion for the shallot and usually marinade it for 2 days for the best flavor. I also slice it about 1/4 in. thick against the grain for the sake of tenderness. We all love it...even the kiddies!

I have made this recipe twice once using the lemon juice and last night without the lemon(I forgot to buy a lemon!). I marinated the beef longer without the lemon and thought it had a much better flavor. The key to this cut of beef is to let it rest 5 to 10 minutes and to thinly slice it. My guests last night (12 of them) raved about the meal and wanted the recipe. I served it with a potato casserole and a huge tossed salad. I will make this again and again.

This marinade was so tasty! I used onions instead of shallots (too much work for a marinade and I used them in the side dish) and petite sirloins instead of london broil, but that was the only change. The flavors were wonderful and it tenderized the meat perfectly. Served with simple baked potatoes, with asparagus and grape tomatoes sauteed with shallots in just a dab of butter.

Simple and easy. I didn't have shallots on hand, so just used a little more garlic and it was delish. I made this for a weeknight celebratory meal since we don't eat much red meat - less than a pound takes care of my family of four well. Will definitely make again.

How to make London broil not tough? ›

Try this: Rub steak with the cut side of a halved garlic clove and liberally season both sides of your London broil with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature on a rack set inside a rimmed baking tray for at least one hour. The salt will dissolve and will be absorbed into the meat.

Does baking soda really tenderize steak? ›

In short, yes! A little baking soda can be used to tenderize meat. Note that the best use for this is on thinner steaks and ground beef burgers that will have a wide surface area when cooked. It won't be effective with tough cuts of meat like stew meat, which are best made tender with a low and slow braise.

How do you tenderize a London broil without a tenderizer? ›

Pounding

Using a meat mallet (or kitchen mallet) to pound steaks helps soften and tenderize the meat. Simply place the meat in between pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper and pound it prior to cooking. If you don't have a meat mallet, you can also use a heavy kitchen tool such as a skillet, saucepan or rolling pin.

Does marinating meat longer make it more tender? ›

Acidic marinades help solubilize the collagen in red meat, making the meat less tough; they also increase water retention and tenderization for a moist, toothsome result,” Sharma wrote in his cookbook “The Flavor Equation.” On the flip side, leaving meat in too much acid for too long can actually toughen some meat — ...
