We are all still adjusting to the back to school schedule around here which makes the timing of Labor Day weekend so perfect. The kids will have one more opportunity for a lazy Monday morning. I’m already planning on several cups of coffee and will read the entire newspaper, front to back. Total luxury! I can’t believe the things I get excited about these days. It’s a sad state of affairs. I also plan to pull out a classic summer menu and take advantage of the beautiful weather we inevitably get as soon as soon as the kids return to school.
This is my favorite, go to, easy-peasy, steak marinade. I’ve tried bunches of them but always end up using this one over and over again.
I almost always use top sirloin with this marinade. When we grill around here we’re typically feeding a crowd so what you see here is about 3 pounds of steak. I cut the larger steaks into 3” to 4” inch pieces before marinating to ensure each piece will be nicely coated with marinade before grilling.
I recommend using an instant read thermometer so you can catch it right when it’s at a perfect medium-rare which will be about 135 degrees F. Always allow your grilled steak to rest for at least 5 minutes once you take it off the grill before slicing so all those good juices don’t escape.
I like to slice the steak prior to serving. This is something I’ve learned from years of cooking for a big family and hosting lots and lots of summer parties. It’s a great way to stretch a few pounds of meat to serve a large number of people since folks will typically just take a few slices and fill the rest of their plate up with side dishes. And, trust me, no one will complain. It’s steak!

I wonder if you could make this up and then freeze it. Then when you want to have it for diner defrost then grill. I love freezer meals so I would make several batches eat one that night and freeze the rest
I’ve not ever tried that, Crystal but if you do, be sure to let me know how it works out for you.
This sounds similar to the marinade I make for chicken except I make my own italian dressing using the Good Seasons Zesty Italian mix using balsamic vinegar and add some more seasonings and barbeque sauce .. tastes wonderful and even freezes beautifully so its marinated and ready to go anytime ..
Do you think this marinade would work on London Broil?
I think you really could use it on any cut of steak but for grilling, I prefer sirloin. It’s a great value and the result is tender and delicious.
London is best broiled fast and sliced thin along grain not really for grilling
I agree with you with on that, Shanon. As explained in the post, sirloin is the cut I like best with this marinade.
I’ve grilled london broil a lot, I bet it would taste great on it. Just keep an eye on it so it doesn’t over cook.
my favorite for beef is 1/2 cup each of oil, vinegar , brown sugar (packed)and 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce. This works for chicken too.
what kind of vineger did you use.
The recipe doesn’t call for vinegar, Cherrie.
Wow! That looks incredible! I know what I’m grilling for Father’s Day {and maybe Memorial Day too!}
