Grilled London Broil with Spicy Rub and Red Wine – So Delicious!

The flavor of this recipe comes from two things – the rub that gives the meat it’s flavor and the red wine marinade that you place the beef in to tenderize it.

The meat I chose is London Broil Steak (top round steak will work too). Have the cuts about 1 inch thick or more. This type of cut is not too expensive and the marinade will work wonders for making lesser cuts of meat tender.

I marinate the beef overnight and get great results.

Ingredients for the spicy BBQ London Broil rub

The spicy rub is a blend of smoky, spicy and savory spices. It adds a nice kick to the steak. You’ll need these ingredients:

smoked paprika
kosher salt
garlic powder
onion powder or flakes
black pepper
red pepper flakes
dried oregano
ground thyme

Just mix the spices in a bowl and store it in an airtight spice jar. The recipe below makes a lot of the rub and you’ll have some to use other nights as well.

The rub is a fantastic blend of spices and you will want to use it every time you grill steak or pork. It gives the meat a fantastic flavor.

Making the easy London Broil marinade

While the spicy dry rub adds a great taste to any cut of meat, this easy red wine marinade for London Broil gives a lot of extra flavor to the meat.

The steak can be grilled and served dry – we do this many week ends. But when you want a more elegant finish to the dish, the marinade takes it to the next level.

The marinade also tenderizes the beef while adding flavor so it’s worth the extra time if you have it to spare.

The flavors are rich and savory with a dose of garlic.

¼ cup of red wine vinegar
¼ cup of Merlot or any other good red wine
2 tablespoons of lite soy sauce
2 tablespoons of Grey Poupon whole grain mustard
4 cloves of crushed garlic

Combine everything in a bowl and then pour it over the meat. You can sprinkle the rub over the meat now, too. Refrigerate four hours or overnight.

London Broil grill time

Preheat your grill and cook to your desired doneness. You can also heat up the marinade (to a boil) and serve it over the meat to finish, if desired.

The best way to grill London Broil is to alternate sides. This ensures very even cooking but still gives a nice sear to the steak.

To grill the London Broil, place it on your grill for 1 minute and then flip the meat over. Continue to switch sides every minute until the temperature reaches 125 degrees for medium rare or 130 degrees for medium.

The total cooking time should be about 5-9 minutes depending on how much you like your steak cooked. Allow the grilled London broil to stand for 5 minute before serving it.
