Best Marinade for London Broil Tips
- You can make this a gluten-free marinade for steak by replacing soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- Low-sodium soy sauce may also be used.
- Rice vinegar or white wine vinegar may be used in place of balsamic vinegar.
- Instead of garlic powder, you can also use fresh garlic or garlic paste.
- Honey or a mixture of white sugar and maple syrup make a good replacement for brown sugar.
- Allspice, cinnamon, or nutmeg make a good replacement for ginger.
- I love the spice added by red pepper flakes, but they are totally optional if you enjoy less spice.

London Broil Marinade Recipes FAQs
If your cut of meat is especially tough, you may want to tenderize it with a meat mallet before marinating. See: how to tenderize steak. However, marinating is generally all you need to make London Broil tender, so you shouldn't have to tenderize it beforehand.
London Broil should be left to marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Do not marinate for longer than 1-2 days or the fibers of the meat will begin to break down too much and become mushy.
