Ingredients
Balsamic Vinegar

1/4 cup (None)
Worcestershire Sauce
2 tablespoons (None)
Olive Oil
1/4 cup (None)
Garlic Cloves
2 cloves (Crushed)

Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, crushed garlic, rosemary, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2
Lightly score the London broil in a diamond pattern on both sides to allow the marinade to penetrate the meat more effectively.
3
Place the scored meat into a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the beef and seal the bag tightly. Gently squish the bag to evenly distribute the marinade, ensuring all nooks and crannies are coated.
4
For the best flavor, marinate the beef in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, or up to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even exposure to the marinade.
5
When ready to cook, remove the meat from the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before grilling to reach room temperature.
6
Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat. Cook the London broil for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the meat and your preferred level of doneness.
7
Let the meat rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing.
