Instructions

Place london broil in a large plastic storage bag or non-reactive dish.
Marinade: In a medium-size mixing bowl whisk together teriyaki, balsamic, oil, brown sugar, rosemary, pepper, garlic and ginger until fully combined. Pour marinade over london broil. Seal tightly and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Garlic Herb Butter: In a small mixing bowl, mash together butter, green onion, parsley, garlic and salt until equally distributed. Place onto wax paper and roll into a cylinder. You may also wrap in plastic wrap and twist the ends. Chill until firm. Slice and serve with london broil.
To Prepare: Remove from fridge and rest on counter for 30 minutes. Remove from marinade allowing excess to drop off. Discard marinade.
To Grill: Brush grill grates with olive oil. Heat grill to medium-high. Place london broil on grill, searing for 2 minutes. Make a 1/4 turn and continue to grill over medium-heat for another 3-4 minutes. Turn and repeat increasing the temperature to sear, then grilling until a thermometer registers an internal temperature of 130-135°F. (10-12 minutes total)
To Broil in the Oven: Place london broil on a sheet pan or oven safe skillet spritzed with cooking spray or lightly brushed with peanut or vegetable oil. Preheat the oven to broil and move oven rack to highest position. Broil in the oven for 5-6 minutes then flip broiling for another 5-6 minutes on the other side. (10-12 minutes total)
To Sear on the Stove Top: Drizzle a grill pan with olive or vegetable oil. Heat pan on high heat, add london broil to hot pan. Sear for 2 minutes, lower temperature to medium-high. Make a 1/4 turn searing for another 3-4 minutes over medium-high. Repeat process on other side. (10-12 minutes total)

Notes

Steak - When choosing london broil, look for uniform thickness for the most even cooking. Flank streak would also be a delicious option for this same teriyaki marinade.
Teriyaki Sauce - You can use soy sauce in place of teriyaki sauce.
Pineapple Juice - You could add pineapple juice to the marinade for a tropical tangy flavor.
Allow Ample Marinating Time - The marinade is flavorful and should be given enough time to work it's magic. Marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the full impact.
Cooking Tip - When cooking london broil or steak try not to move the beef around too much. Start with a hot grill pan, medium-high heat grill or in the oven set to broil. When grilling, you can move the london broil to a cooler indirect heat spot, if it's cooking too fast for your liking.
Slice Steak Across the Grain - Allow ample rest time before slicing the london broil across the grain for serving. Remember, the temperature will continue to rise a bit while it rests.
