Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups whiskey
- 0.5 cups soy sauce
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the whiskey, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil to the mixture. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
Stir in the minced garlic, black pepper, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk again to evenly distribute the spices.
Place your London broil in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow baking dish.
Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides. If using a bag, seal it tightly and massage the marinade into the meat.
Refrigerate the marinating London broil for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow maximum flavor absorption. Turn the meat occasionally to ensure even coverage.
Before cooking, remove the meat from the marinade and discard the liquid. Pat the meat dry with paper towels for a better sear or grill marks.
Cook the London broil according to your preferred method (grill, broil, or sear). Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving.
