London Broil Marinade

I found this marinade in the comments section of the Chowhound Post: “Tips on marinating/tenderizing London Broil“. It worked really well the first time I tried it, but I completely forgot to save my notes AND the page link. So I’m placing it here where I can’t possibly forget it. Because yummies should be shared.

1/2 C oil, 1/4 C lemon juice, 1 T paprika (sweet), 2T Worcestershire, dash Tabasco, 2 t salt, 2 t sugar, 2-3 cloves garlic crushed. Shake it up, pour it on, and leave a few hours or even longer. I’ve even left it over night. (Permalink to comment)

Then I tweaked it a bit, and this is what’s going in my marinade bag today:

1/2 cup Olive Oil
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons (heaped) Paprika, sweet (D’ter & I love paprika)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Red Pepper Flakes
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
5 cloves of garlic, crushed (or more) (many more) (how much garlic do we have? get more)

Mix that up, throw the meat in, squeeze as much air out as possible, and let that slosh around until cooking time a few hours later.

I still haven’t found a hot sauce to my liking. Tobasco is weaksauce. Cholula is okay, but still not quite “right”. My family swears by Texas Pete, so much so, my mother stocks up 6 bottles at a time. It’s better than Tobasco. But just doesn’t make me sing, ya know?

If y’all will excuse me… I have trouble to stir up.
