This really does make a tasty dish! The meat has to be good quality though. I have made this several times and my family loves it.

Excellent and easy. The only difference I made was due to a sudden schedule change and only managed to season the meat with tendrizer, covered and placed in the frig over night. The next day I covered with marinade, wrapped in foil and placed in frig for 4 hours. Grilled to perfection and served with steamed artichokes. The day after we made french dips with the leftovers. Good eats thanks....Hoot1

I tried this recipe because I happened to have all the ingredients on hand already, except for the MSG and meat tenderizer. It was wonderfully tasty without the MSG. It could have used the meat tenderizer, but it was fine as long as I cut it in very thin slices across the grain, which I did. I only marinated about two hours. This marinade is delicious and I will definitely make it again. The London Broil I had was 2.6 pounds, and I doubled the recipe. I only had dried parsley, and I threw in some extra tarragon, since I had it. This recipe was very, very good, and the tarragon added a unique but subtle character to the finished taste. I should mention that I threw a few hickory chips on the charcoal grill, and I adjusted the cooking time for the larger broil. I'm putting this in my favorites folder!

This was okay. My husband liked it fine. I really didn't care for it too much. The meat was still rather tough.

My boyfriend must always have his london broil marinated in Mustard. I stuck this recipe into the Kitchen, Skeptical at first, we were both taking By surprise, It is amazing. I have Impressed my parents, grill master brother, and even my "mother in-law". I did make some slight changes Though: I have made this several Times and only marinate for 20-45 min. and it still comes out amazing. I cut out the seasoning salt and just used meat tenderizer, which is saltly anyway. I also up the tarragon vinegar to almost half the oil, and used olive oil. I broil the steak for about 6-7minutes a side for mid-rare. You must go out and but Tarragon Vinegar for this recipe, it's worth your time

My younger daughter and I don't eat red meat, however, hubby and older daughter thought their london broil was delicious and very flavorful. Thanks Terry!

This marinade is distinct and unusual for beef and it is FABULOUS! We grilled on our gas grill and without coals it was hard to tell how long to cook. We cooked for the advised time and the meat was rare, I think 8-9 minutes on both sides would probably be more of a medium. Very good, will definitely make this again!!

This was my first attempt at a london broil and I must say it was the most flavorful and most tender london broil I have ever had! It was like eating a more expensive cut of meat. I did make a few minor changes to work with what I had on hand though. I left out the MSG and just used unseasoned meat tenderizer, used dehydrated minced garlic instead of fresh and used red wine vinegar instead of the tarragon vinegar. We like our meat about medium-well so I cooked it about 6 minutes on each side and it was perfect. Next time I will cut back on the seasoning salt just a little, it was a little saltier than I would like but not bad.

Oh my, this was so yummy! An EXCELLENT marinade and I highly recommend!! I used red wine vinegar (didn't have tarragon on hand) and no MSG. Wasn't able to marinade as directed, just a couple of hours, but it still turned out wonderful. I can't wait to marinade it longer - the meat would probably melt in our mouths then! I've tried many marinade and this one is definitely a keeper!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!!

Boy, was this a hit . . . with the whole family! I altered the recipe as several others did -- all-natural tenderizer instead of MSG and added some steak 'n chop seasoning. Marinated for 8 hours. Cooked a little longer because my husband and son don't like it as rare as I do. I was pleased with the flavor of this, and I can't wait to try it on pork and chicken!

This was excellent. We had a 3 pound piece of meat and it took nearly 45 minutes to cook and that was after some very deep scoring and cutting it in half halfway through the cooking process. In the end, my husband closed the grill lid to bake it a bit and that finally did the trick. It was a very late dinner. Overall, the flavor was excellent. We didn't have any tarragon vinegar so I used apple cidar vinegar. It came out just fine. I skipped the MSG and used an herb tenderizer as one of the other reviewers reccomended. My husband loved the flavor, which is surprising because he is a BBQ snob and if he didn't invent it, he generally doesn't like it, but this was a winner.

Even my picky kids and 17-month-old twins liked this! The recipe lists MSG as an ingredient, but the directions say to put meat tenderizer on the meat. I suppose tenderizer often includes MSG? I used tenderizer without MSG. However, mine had salt, and I didn't have seasoned salt on hand, so I just left it out. It was plenty salty with just the salted meat tenderizer. I also used red wine vinegar instead of the tarragon, and dried parsley (about 1/3 the amount called for) instead of fresh. Good recipe!

This was incredible. I didn't add MSG - I don't have it and I don't see any need for it. I bet that ingrediant alone has made people not try this scrumptious marinade. I did everything else like it said and we oooood and awed.

Wow this was fantastic! I have never been able to cook a good London Broil, but this one really worked. I skipped the msg and added a little tarragon since I only had red wine vinegar. Don't skip the slashing and piercing part. That allowed the marinade to permeate into the meat. It was so tender. Great! Will make again!
