I love grilling in the summertime!!! I guess I probably would love it in the winter time too... but the flip-flop sandals don't seem to grip the stones in front of the grill as well. In anycase... here are a couple of my favorite marinades. I grill chicken a lot these days...as well as seafood... but I guess these marinades would work just as well for London Broil... or pork. You would just want to marinade them for a longer period of time. Say, overnight... as opposed to an afternoon for chicken or seafood.

INCREDIBLE SOUTHWESTERN MARINADE

1 (12 oz) bottle or can of beer ---- NOT A DARK BREW
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 large garlic cloves chopped
3 Tb. fresh lime juice
3 Tb. red wine vinegar
1 Tb. ground cumin
1 Tb. chili powder

Mix all together and throw into a ziplock bag with whatever your choice of meat for the grill will be... place into the fridge and flip every hour or so.---I know the beer sounds sort of weird...but I guess the bubbles/alcohol help tenderize the meat...and when you're finished grilling...you'll never look at a bottle of beer the same way!!! ( the alcohol will cook off during the grilling process)

HERB MARINADE:

1/3 cup dry red wine
1/3 cup olive oil
3 large garlic cloves chopped
3 Tb. Dijon mustard
2 Tb. fresh sage chopped
2 Tb. fresh rosemary chopped
1/2 tsp. dried pepper flakes

Mix all together and throw into a ziplock bag with whatever your choice of meat for the grill will be...place into the fridge and flip every hour or so.

LEMON BASIL MARINADE:

1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1 lemon---grated for the zest
2 large garlic cloves chopped
2 Tb. white wine vinegar
1 Tb. Dijon mustard

Mix all together and throw into a ziplock bag with whatever your choice of meat for the grill will be...place into the fridge and flip every hour or so.---If you don't have a lemon zester...I have found that a sharp potatoe peeler works well...and then just mince up the pieces... try not to go too deep with the lemon...the white part is bitter.
