Red Wine London Broil

Red Wine London Broil

I’ve been making this Red Wine London Broil for a while. It’s definitely my favorite of all the London Broil recipes that I’ve tried because it’s guaranteed to come out soft and it practically takes no time at all. Greg had been to a wine tasting event and the host served this meat.  He like it so much that he brought home the leftovers. My task was to recreate it at home. This is the simplified version that can be made by any home cook.You reduce a bottle of red wine to about 1/4 of its volume. (Use half now and freeze the rest for the rest for the next time ) Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 cloves of minced garlic, a teaspoon of salt and olive oil. Let the meat marinate overnight and then grill on high heat for about 4 minutes on each side. One of the secrets is using this tool. It really helps the marinade penetrate the meat. The other secret is the red wine. The acidity really helps soften the meat.  This meat tastes great at room temperature and is perfect for a sandwich. The full recipe is below.

As you can see, its a simple list of ingredients

The meat marinade

Marinade overnight in a ziploc bag

Grill on high for a few minutes on each side

Yum! ( Can’t think of a better caption 🙂 )
